Lesson 3a - Project One
This is one of the projects you will be doing for a grade in this unit (instead of taking a
final test).
Do you remember episodes 1 and 2 of our play? If not, please go back and listen to
them. I want you to make an audio recording similar to these two episodes. Please
introduce yourself - name, age, where you live, and one sentence describing yourself and introduce at least two other people - name, age and one sentence description.
They can be members of your family, friends, teachers, pets, classmates, etc.
Important: I want your recording to have some sound effects: With each person you
are describing (including yourself) record some sound that shows what the person is
doing. Nina in our episode was brushing her teeth; you could be listening to music,
typing on the computer or playing a video game, playing ball, etc. If you introduce one
of your pets get them to meow, bark or whatever.
Submission: Please submit your assignment under the appropriate folder in your
course. Alternatively, you can record your file or on your computer and send your file as
an email attachment.
Criteria for grading your recording will be:
Completeness (name, age, place of residence and description of yourself; name, age
and one sentence description of two other persons or animals);
Pronunciation (you are welcome to call and practice your sentences before you record
them);
Grammatical correctness;
Sound effects (e.g. Did you use sound effects? Do the sound effects give some
information about the person/animal?)
Checklist for Project One:
Write down the information about yourself.
Decide on a sound effect for yourself.
Pick two other persons or animals. Write down the information about them.

Here are questions A - C if you want to do them in writing:
A. Welche Personen wirst du hören? ________________________________________
B. Wann könnte diese Szene spielen? _______________________________________
C. Was könnte passieren? ________________________________________________
2. Leo fragt Nina, was sie in ihrer Freizeit macht. Was machst du gern?
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
3. Ein bißchen Grammatik -
Word Order
Please go to our website and watch Flash Clip Word Order.
Fill in the blanks below as you are watching.
1. Normal word order in English or German is:
Examples:
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 26
2. Questions
In a German question, the _________ goes after the _________.
In some English questions it does, too:
______________________________________________ (Hast du Tintenfisch gegessen?)
___________________________________________________(Kannst du Polka tanzen?)
________________________________________________________(Bist du verrückt?)
This principle - subject goes after the verb in a question - always applies to German:
Do you Yahoo? __________________________________________________________
Does Britney Spears sing? __________________________________________________
3. Two-part Verbs
When the verb phrase in a German sentence consists of two parts, the second part goes to the
_________ of the sentence.
Examples: Ich _________ das verflixte Buch nicht _________!
Warum _________ Elvis nicht _________?
Mama, Ludwig _________ mein Make-up _________!
4. Inverted Word Order
Your normal word order in a German sentence is Subject - Verb - Other Stuff. What happens
when you start a German sentence with “Other Stuff” instead of the subject?
Two English examples for this word order:
a) ____________________________________________________________________
b) ____________________________________________________________________
Please circle the subject and the verb in the English sentences above.
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 27
You don’t have too many instances of this kind of word order in English, but in German this is a
rule that always applies:
Examples:
Vor dem Kino steht eine Schlange.
Am Schalter sagt Thomas: ...
In Folge 11 of 'Keine Panik' you hear these sentences:
Nina: Dann muß ich nach Hause.
...
Leo: Schön sieht sie aus mit den nassen Haaren.
Nina: Jetzt sehe ich natürlich aus wie eine nasse Ratte.
a) Circle the first word in each sentence above, then find the subject in each sentence
and draw a box around it.
b) Let's practice this concept with some sentences from Folge 11. Rewrite the
sentences by starting each sentence with the underlined word(s):
Ein Regentropfen hängt an ihrem Ohr.
______________________________________________________________________
Ich bringe dich dann jetzt nach Hause.
______________________________________________________________________
Ich könnte ihr dann den Arm um die Schulter legen.
______________________________________________________________________
Ich finde Kino gut.
______________________________________________________________________
Lektion 11a - Verb Kickers
Look at this sentence from Folge 11:
Du mußtest auch lachen, als ich dich gefragt habe, ob du Lust hast, ins Kino zu gehen.
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 28
Circle the words "als" and "ob". These words are officially called "subordinating
conjunctions", but I like the term "verb kickers" better, because they kick the verb to the
end of the clause. Find the verbs that belong to "als" and "ob" and draw a box around
them.
Look at the sentences below and connect them with the verb kicker in brackets.
Der Diskjockey hat den Kanarienvogel erschossen. Der Kanarienvogel wusste zu viel.
(weil)
______________________________________________________________________
Nina muss nach Hause. Es ist schon ein Uhr. (weil)
______________________________________________________________________
Nina denkt, Leo will nicht mit ihr tanzen. (dass)
______________________________________________________________________
Leo glaubt, sein Vater wird böse sein. (dass)
______________________________________________________________________
4. Project Two - Steckbrief
Here is the second project for this unit (remember: there will not be a final test, instead I
will give grades for three projects). I want you to write a description of yourself - auf
Deutsch, natürlich!
a) To give you some ideas, I would like you to look at three of our former German III
students.
Please go to our website and read the Steckbriefe of Mari, Ryan
and Linda. Answer these questions:
1. Wie sieht Mari aus? (aussehen - to look like)
______________________________________________________________________
2. Wo wohnt Mari?
______________________________________________________________________
3. Was für Hobbys hat Ryan?
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 29
______________________________________________________________________
4. Wie beschreibt Ryan seinen Charakter?
______________________________________________________________________
5. Woher kommt Linda?
______________________________________________________________________
6. Welche Fächer (subjects) hat Linda an ihrer Schule?
______________________________________________________________________
b) Now think about how you could describe yourself in German. I would like for you to
include information on the following items:
Name
_____________________________________________
wie alt?
_____________________________________________
wo wohnst du?
_______________________________________
Wie kannst du deinen Charakter beschreiben? Bist du *schüchtern,
kontaktfreudig (=social), aufgeschlossen (=open), gern allein, *freundlich, nett, sexy,
*gutaussehend (=good looking), intelligent, *fleißig, faul, lustig,* ruhig, tolerant, kritisch?
______________________________________________________________________
Was machst du gern in deiner Freizeit?
______________________________________________________________________
Was magst du (oder magst du nicht) an deiner Schule?
______________________________________________________________________
Was wirst du nach der Schule machen?
______________________________________________________________________
c) Now write your Steckbrief. To do that please go to our website to the "Quizzes and
Test" module and find the "Steckbrief." Please proof your Steckbrief carefully. Check
for: adjective endings, verb endings, word order.
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 30
Criteria for grading your Steckbrief will be:
Vocabulary - try to not to use the same words over and over
Structure - please do not just line up short "subject - verb - object" sentences. Connect
some sentences with "und, oder, aber" etc. and use some "verb kickers" like "weil" and
"dass" (watch out for word order with these), and vary your word order (start some
sentences with something other than the subject - watch word order!)
Length - your Steckbrief should be at least 80 words and not more than 120 words.
Grammar - please proof your Steckbrief carefully. If you have questions, call us!
Go to ‘Quizzes’, find ‘Steckbrief’ and write your Steckbrief online.
Lektion 12
1. Please go through the usual steps: look at the Arbeitsblatt, look at the picture, answer
questions A - D in writing or on the phone with us, look at the numbered questions,
listen to the episode, then answer the questions, listen to the second part, answer those
questions also, then listen to the whole episode again.
Here are questions A - D if you want to do them in writing:
A. Welche Personen und Geräusche wirst du wahrscheinlich hören?
______________________________________________________________________
B. In welcher Stimmung sind die Personen?
Leo: __________________________________________________________________
sein Vater: _____________________________________________________________
C. Was denkst du, worüber (what about) sprechen Leo und sein Vater?
______________________________________________________________________
D. Was könnten sie sagen?
Leo: __________________________________________________________________
Vater: ________________________________________________________________
Leo: __________________________________________________________________
Einheit 2: Keine Panik
Seite 31
Vater: ________________________________________________________________
2. Ein paar Vokabeln
a) In the second part of Folge 12 Leo uses the word "doch" several times. There is not
really an English equivalent. Germans use "doch" as a positive answer to a negative
statement or question, as in:
Das ist kein Problem. - Doch, das ist ein Problem. or Das ist doch ein Problem.
You can also use "doch" in a negative statement or question when you really know that
the answer is positive, like Leo's father is doing:
Du willst doch nicht sagen, dass du mein Auto ruiniert hast?
Das darf doch nicht wahr sein! (Es ist aber wahr.)
Das gibt es doch nicht!
b) In the puzzle below find the German equivalents for the English words. The
numbered letters form a German word for a tool to use with touch-up paint on a car.
Newspaper
*eggs
appetite
*important
car keys
*no problem
scratch
