On Friday, we created a name plate for our desks with some large index cards and coloring pencils, etc. We decoratively wrote our German first and last names on these cards to put on our desks each day. We also colored our maps of Germany, the various states, etc. And we chose a German city to be from. Here is a link to the Wikipedia Entry of Germany and her 16 states (Bundesländer)

Pacing Guides and Guidelines Information

Guten Abend. Today was a fast-moving day at Enloe. We mostly went over guidelines and expectations of our respective German courses. We'll finish and continue reviewing these tomorrow in class. It is very important you all understand that learning a modern foreign language requires that teenagers speak and interact efficiently and effectively. But to do this requires both a higher level of self-control and also social risk-taking, which sometimes contradict each other in group settings. I could teach in a traditional manner, with loads of notes, lectures, etc. but it wouldn't be authentic second language learning. Review the guidelines closely.

Here are copies various pacing guides that I will use to guide instruction this year.

Enloe High School Rules will be strictly enforced, especially the tardy policy. If you are not in your seat when the tardy bell rings, you'll be assigned detention on the next possible ASD (after-school detention) day, which will be announced/written on the side announcement board in our classroom. Here is a copy of tardy slips I'll use to assign these dreaded detentions:

Course Guidelines and Expectations

Here is a copy of the course guidelines, which applies equally to each of my German classes at Enloe High School. Actual topics covered in each level of our German class will be distributed later in the week or posted at this website. I'll include a copy of last year's syllabus for German 4; the topics will be the same this year.

Ich heiße Euch . . . . Willkommen!

Another year at Enloe, and I hope you all had a terrific summer. Ours was good, the highlight being the German GAPP Exchange trip from June 18th to July 12th. That was awesome. Fourteen Enloe High students accompanied me and a parent-chaperone to Schwetzingen, Germany and Munich for a three-week sojourn. In two years we'll do it again, so you freshmen and sophomores with me this year (and also graduating seniors, if you're so inclined!) start saving some money and thinking about the GAPP exchange in 2011.

Last year I had 5 different websites for my German classes, this year I am going to use a single weblog (blog) to communicate with students and parents. So keep checking in to see what's new at Enloe's German program. I look forward to working with all of you this year!
