2a. Sehen Sie [=watch] das Kapitel 1 Video. Klicken Sie hier!

2b. **SUBMIT** When you’re ready, click here to take the online Kapitel 1 “pre-quiz.”

3a. Lesen Sie [=read] die Kursinformation.

3b. Lesen Sie Vorsprung Seite xxv-xxvi (“To the student”).

• Ignore Vorsprung’s advice to “avoid memorizing lists of words”!

4. **SUBMIT** Click here to take the quiz on learning strategies (see also Vorsprung Seite xxv-xxvi), important course policies, and on the vocabulary from the first day of class [Click on the preceding three links to review the info covered by this quiz!]. You need a score of 80% or higher in order to get a “check.” 

• Click here for more info and troubleshooting advice about this assignment (what if I score below 80%, why is my score 0, what if nothing happens when I click “submit” etc.)

5. OPTIONAL: “Kapitel 1 Videos zum Spaß [=for fun].” Watch the ones that look interesting to you. This chapter’s videos include e.g. the “Twist and Shout” Scene from Ferris Bueller; David Hasselhoff singing auf Deutsch; Sesame Street (Sesamstraße) auf Deutsch; & a music video classic by Die Toten Hosen: Zehn kleine Jägermeister.

• Click here for more info and troubleshooting advice about this assignment (what if I score below 80%, why is my score 0, what if nothing happens when I click “submit” etc.)

2. **SUBMIT** First Kapitel 1 MindTap Due Date ==> 

• Visit this MindTap Information page for details.  Please read it carefully – especially the advice to do a few activities every day (not just on the nights before the due dates) and the info about activity notes that will save you time and help you get full credit.
• Go to MindTap via the link in the second paragraph of our Canvas Home Page
• If you haven’t already done so, you will be prompted to log into your Cengage account (using the SAME Cengage account you used to purchase MindTap!). You will only have to do this once all semester, and should not have to do it again in German 102 – but please keep a record of your Cengage login info “just in case”!

3. Sounds of German – Pronunciation Practice:

• Click on the link for instructions on how to find and use the Sounds of German pronunciation practice on MindTap. There is nothing to submit for this assignment, but this pronunciation practice is SEHR WICHTIG – very important!
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Click here for some great online resources on Pronunciation, including some YouTube video summaries by a musician who has mastered multiple languages, and a great interactive site from the University of Iowa. There is also a “Pronunciation Guide” on Canvas if you would like a written summary to print out.
• COME BACK TO THIS ASSIGNMENT WHENEVER YOU WANT TO WORK ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION! Working on your pronunciation early is a GREAT way to build confidence and get more out of class time
• Make an appointment with your instructor if you notice that you could benefit from extra practice – or ask in class if you just have questions about one or two specific sounds!

0. If you are still printing out Kapitel 1 bit by bit, what you will need for next time is pages 2-35.

1. **SUBMIT** Continue learning the Kapitel 1 vocabulary. Klicken Sie hier! Then complete and submit this worksheet.

• Remember the earlier advice to save Kapitel1CEM.docx on your computer and edit it to make it useful for you: highlight information you especially want to remember; delete information you’re less interested in, so that the parts that are most useful for you stand out.
• Click here for information on how to type Umlaute & ß. On a Mac, there are easy shortcuts; on a PC, the easiest option is probably to activate the US International Keyboard and use the shortcuts this makes available.

2. OPTIONAL: Schoolhouse Rock! For an entertaining and nostalgic review of the basics of English grammar (which will help you a lot to understand the grammatical concepts in this course, and your future German courses), review some of the classic Schoolhouse Rock episodes. Even if you know all about grammar, you may want to watch the classic “Conjunction Junction.” Newer, but very sweet and particularly helpful for this course, is “The Tale of Mr. Morton,” which explains subjects and predicates. Check out the related videos to find more. [Nothing to do with grammar, but the other must-see Schoolhouse Rock classic is “I’m Just a Bill.”]

  • Here is another version of the same list, less alphabetical, but grouping the verbs by their patterns of stem-changes. Browse through this list for 5 minutes a day every day until you have a feel for the forms of the strong verbs.
• In choosing between haben or sein as the auxiliary verb, remember to use sein for changes of location and changes of state, and haben otherwise. In deciding if something represents a change of state, remember what matters is whether the person performing the action changes state: if I kill Kenny, I don’t change state ==> Ich habe Kenny getötet. If Kenny dies, he changes state: Kenny ist gestorben.
