Office hours: I am available every morning from 9am to 1pm via remind. I might not get back to you right away as I am also working on content development and other tasks. I will check remind regularly in between tasks. These last two weeks, I will have in person office hours daily from 9:30 am to 10:00 am starting on May 11. Please check back regularly for current office hours. I will send a zoom invite to attend office hours via remind, so you can talk to me in person at that time.

AP German: Week 2 March 30- April 03

Webinar> Please feel free to watch the three webinars available from the AP Youtube channel. At this point, this is nt a requirement as I am not sure how helpful they really are https://www.youtube.com/user/advancedplacement

I have looked into them and find them slightly helpful, but I am not sure if they will really pertain to the new format of the text.

Mein Vorschlag (suggestion): Konzentrieren wir uns ganz auf die free response Fragen.

Daily Speaking: Freies Sprechen. Stell deine Stoppuhr auf 2 Minuten. Sprich jeden Tag für die vollen zwei Minuten ohne Pause, du kannst alles sagen, was dir zu dem Thema einfällt. Je mehr du sprichst, desto besser!! Schick mir ein 2 minuten Video von einem der Themen.

Themenbereich für das neue Exam sind: How Science and Technology affect our lives, Influences of Art and Beauty, The Influence of Culture and Language on Identity, Families in Different Societies. Send in one of the free speaking exercises for me to receive points. Here are some ideas for speaking practice topics:

1. Sprich über eine deutsche Erfindung, die du in deinem normalen Leben benutzt.
2. Welche Technologien benutzen amerikanische Teenager im normalen Leben privat und in der Schule. Wozu benutzen die Teenager die Technolgie?
3. Beschreibe deine Lieblingskleidung und was andere Teenager an deiner Schule tragen.
4. Wer ist dein Lieblingskünstler oder Lieblingsmusiker? Sprich über die Person, die Kunstform, was dir an der Kunst gefällt, etc.
5. Welche Sprachen werden in deiner Familie gesprochen? Woher kennen die Familienmitglieder diese Sprachen?
