Peeps goes to Germany!

Audio Boo

I like Audio Boo and have used it before with my moodle. Wow! It did embed. That was tricky. I'm not sure which one worked but I'm glad that it's over!

listen to ‘Guten Tag, ich heisse Frau Davis’ on Audioboo

Activity 4 Podcasting Script

Extra Credit

Go to the Step Into German website and listen to the Music Video Clip of the Month.  On a piece of paper, write a 50-100 word critique of this piece.  Be sure to include:
1. The name of the song and the band
2. Your overall impression - would you recommend it to a friend?
3. Could this band and piece of music become popular in the US?  Why or Why not???
Put it into the basket at the beginning of class.  After the bell ringer, let me know if you'd like to talk to the class about this video at the end of class and I'll get it set up for you :)

My current fav - Marteria!

Blogging might be a good way for students to discuss a translation.  Every year my advanced students read several fairy tales from the original Grimm.  Then we sit in a circle and discuss their translations - BORING!  What if I posted a passage and they completed and commented BEFORE they got to class.  Then we could use valuable class time in more productive ways.

How would I hold them accountable?  Some kids would do the work and others would complain about computer access and come to class without having done anything.
