Willkommen in Deutsch 1
Klasse! During this year you will be
learning basic vocabulary, and culture about German speaking countries. You should always remember that learning a
language is difficult and that it takes time and a lot of hard work. You are on the same level as a 2 year
old. You understand sounds but are just
learning to match words with certain things.
This year you will be increasing your vocabulary daily and practicing
the vocabulary you are learning.
Our class will consist of
listening, speaking, reading, writing and most of all learning new
vocabulary. Grades will be taken on
many of the activities.
Homework will be
graded on a 5-point scale. 5=all work
completed, 3=most or half of the work completed, 1=you started it and 0=you did
no homework.
Listening will be graded on participation during the activity.
5=on task during listening, 3=on task half of the time and 0=did not
participate.
Speaking will be graded
on participation during the activity. 5=on task during the speaking activity,
3=on task half of the time and 0=did not participate.
Quizzes will be
worth 30 points. These will consist of
reading a German phrase and writing the English meaning. You will have 2-3 quizzes per chapter.
Tests will be worth
100 points. These will consist of all
information (readings, writing, listening and speaking activities from the
chapter)
Performance Assessments are assessments that consist of projects, role-plays or other
activities that will accurately
assess what you know in
German.
