German News from the Intermediate group


Recently we have discussed the grammar topic of cases when it is correct to change the definite article "der" to "den." This can be tricky for non-native speakers. Students explained their own ideas and we settled on some common criteria for making the change. If you could say "he" in the sentence in English, then "der" is correct. On the other hand, if him sounds right, then "den" is the proper choice.

Our old friends Igel und Schildkröte helped start a discussion about trading things (tauschen). Students discussed rules for fair trading and wrote their own lists.

Several students have volunteered to present the comics they have created and to show us what they collect. Feedback has been positive for the presenters, and the comics and mini-books are available for free reading.

Students chose to participate in the first grade's kindness challenge by making cards for others. One student taught others how to make origami flowers and swans.

Here are links to a film of "Tall Painting" and to the "pulsate" digital music creator which we used to discuss art and music.




Best Regards,
Herr Neas

If there are three 3rd grade classes going on a school trip and each class has 22 students in it. How many busses would be needed if each bus holds 22 people?
