6th Grade German

German Flag

to 6th Grade German. We have lots of fun in 6th grade! We learn ABC's, numbers, greetings, simple questions, days of the week, months, colors, classroom objects, and other topics that my come up.

Much of what is learned in 6th grade is done orally during class. There is not a textbook for 6th grade German. I will provide many handouts to aid the students as well as often show the pronunciation of words. There will be a homework assignment for nearly each topic that is learned. We will take a quiz on each topic as well. Some topics will have a written and oral quiz. At the end of the quarter, each student will take a final exam that covers all of the topics covered during the quarter. I recommend that students keep their notes and handouts from throughout the quarter so that they can study from those sources!

We often play games, try speaking as much German as possible, listen to German songs, watch parts of films in German, and have a great time doing all of this! While learning the language we learn about the culture and I share stories from my experiences of learning German, living in Germany, and visiting German speaking countries.

At the beginning of 4th Quarter, the students have a big decision to make. The students need to choose the language that they will study during 7th and 8th Grade. Students stick with the same language during 7th and 8th Grade. The students who are successful at the middle school level world language will be able to begin taking Level 2 world language classes at the high school as a freshman.
