Herzlich willkommen zu Deutsch 7!
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 describe your environment, the community you live in, and your neighborhood in German
- You will learn how to talk about occupations, your dream profession and your “jobs” in and around the house!
- You will be able to converse in German about weather, the seasons and months of the year
- You will learn to talk about traveling and vacation plans
- You will experience German culture and everyday life in Germany by learning about German cities and sights, watching video clips about popular vacation-spots in German-speaking countries, activities that German teenagers do in their vacation, 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
