Herzlich willkommen zu Deutsch 6!
Dear students, dear parents,
Guten Tag! My name is Frau Connor. I teach German at Farnsworth Middle School. I was born and raised in Germany and studied there at Saarland University. I worked as a teacher of English and German Language Arts before I moved to the USA in January 2008. Now I enjoy teaching the German language and culture at Farnsworth Middle School very much! Below you will find some important information about German class:
Materials
Please get the following supplies and bring them with you each day to German class:
- a 1.5 inch clear view three-ring binder with five dividers
- sufficient loose-leaf notebook paper
- a black or blue pen, and a pencil with eraser
- colored pencils or markers
- a ruler
Grading
- Grades in German class are broken down as follows:
50% unit tests, quizzes, projects, graded assignments
25% in-class and homework assignments, notebook
25% participation
- Participation is very important in the foreign language classroom: You must be willing to speak, read, write and sing in German in order to learn the language! Being an active participant in class means working well with partners on communicative activities, volunteering answers, making an effort to speak German in the classroom and being respectful of your classmates and teacher.
- Grading guidelines and detailed rubrics with expectations for different levels of achievement can be found on the German website of FMS under "Grading guidelines” (http://www.quia.com/pages/notenrichtl.html). You can get to the German website by clicking on “Teacher and Team web sites” on the FMS homepage.
Homework
Homework reinforces and supports your language learning. By doing your homework, you practice and repeat the structures and words you have learned in class! Homework assignments will be announced and posted in class and on the German website. It is your responsibility to copy the homework assignment into your A-Pads. You are expected to turn in all your work on the due date. I will accept late homework assignments for late credit. Credit will not be given for assignments handed in a week past the due date. If you have been absent, you are responsible for finding out what you missed on the day that you return. Homework due after absence will be accepted for full credit if submitted within a reasonable period of time after the absence.
What are some of the things we will learn about in German class?
-You will learn how to introduce yourself in German, how to talk about yourself and your family, your pets and your hobbies
- You will learn about school in Germany and how to talk about subjects, your schedule and objects you can find in a German classroom
- You will be able to converse in German about your house and your room
- You will experience German culture and everyday life in Germany by learning about the German school system, typical German food, watching video clips about German teenagers, activities that German students do in their leisure time, singing German songs, and MUCH MORE…
It will be a lot of fun! I am very much looking forward to working with you!
Best regards,
Frau Connor
