Deutsch 102 Hausaufgaben – Winter 2019

To understand this homework schedule, imagine your instructor saying “This is what you have to do for the NEXT class.“==> What is listed here today is due TOMORROW (January 10). Work through the numbered items one by one. The red **SUBMIT** indicates something you need to HAND IN on paper (if it’s a worksheet) or electronically (online exercises, blog posts and iLrn).

For iLrn, it’s best to complete the activities when they show up on this schedule (and to READ the additional details about them in this schedule!), but iLrn only HAS TO be completed when you see the **SUBMIT** next to it.

0a. Kaufen Sie die Bücher, die Sie noch nicht haben [=which you don’t already have] [assuming you still have Vorsprung(V) and that your iLrn access to the accompanying online materials is still valid from German 101, this will just mean buying Die Känguru-Chroniken. You will need it soon!]

0b. Lesen Sie die Kursinformation.

1a. Sehen Sie das Kapitel 7 Video. Klicken Sie hier!

1b. Bitte sehen Sie auch dieses Video mit VIELEN guten Beispielen für die Wechselpräpositionen [=2-way prepositions].

1c. **SUBMIT** When you’re ready, click here to take the online Kapitel 7 “pre-quiz.”

• Suggestion: Keep the video lecture open in a separate window while you work on the quiz, so you can refer back to it as needed!
• You actually see 20 questions out of an item bank of 42 for this particular exercise. To see all 42 items, click here. Note that this version of the exercise is not “submittable”; it’s just available for additional practice.

2b. Click here to review the multiple ways in which the iLrn assignments are flexible (and note that the “Anlauftext lesen” iLrn assignments are NOT flexible.We want you to complete these on the indicated due date, and to attempt all the questions!!).

2c. **SUBMIT**Anlauftext lesen (Please be sure to do this now as preparation for the next class!): Do iLrn T:7-2, T:7-3, and T:7-6 as follows: First, look at the vocabulary hints in the bullet point below. Then do T:7-2 (Satzdetektiv); then open your book to p. 246 and click on T:7-3. Click the “Play” icon and listen to the text while reading along. Do this twice, then answer the questions. Finally, do T:7-6.

• Vokabeln: runter = down; Geld abheben = to withdraw money; ein Konto eröffnen = to open an account; empfehlen = to recommend; die Kreissparkasse: a type of local savings bank (sparen = to save (money); you can find Sparkassen everywhere in Germany); die Filiale = branch office; meistens = most of the time; Ich schon = I do (after someone else has said “Ich nicht”); das Semesterticket: discounted ticket for public transportation during the semester; Wo kann ich mir eins besorgen? = Where can I get one?; gleich gegenüber von X = right across from X; praktisch alles = practically everything (i.e. pretty much everything); erledigen = to take care of (errands, tasks)

4. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: To review the video lectures from German 101, click on the “Index of Video Lectures.” To review the vocabulary from German 101, use the mobile flashcard app (see link at the top of the “Index of Video Lectures”). The “Index of Video Lectures” also includes links to the vocabulary handouts, and to the grammar and vocabulary worksheets and online quizzes for each chapter. We recommend spending 15 minutes a day to review one chapter each day, and continuing this until you’ve reviewed all chapters sufficiently. When using the flashcard program or the vocabulary handouts, try to quickly say a simple sentence with each word you are reviewing before moving on to the next one.

BLOG INVITES & TEST POSTS: Please follow the instructions in the Canvas announcement about accepting the invitation to your section’s blog and posting a “test post” in which you simply say what your favorite German word is (remember to choose “Test Post” as the category for your post). This is an ungraded assignment: we just want to make sure you can all post to the blog before the first blog assignment is due.

1. Lesen Sie im Web über Case Overviews (Ignore info on the Genitive).

2. **SUBMIT** Complete this “Deutsch 102 Grundlagenwiederholung” [=review of fundamentals] worksheet!

• Note: For Übung D, you will write four sentences, each beginning “Die Straßenbahn fährt…” and ending respectively with the German equivalents of (1) behind the church (2) over the bridge (3) under the bridge (4) in front of the railway station. Note that in each case you will use the Accusative, since the statements describe changes in the tram’s location. There will be a related exercise on Test 7, but the prompts will be designed so that you will sometimes need the Dative and sometimes the Accusative.
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!):
  • S:7-1E (great practice of 2-way prepositions, and a cute cat & mouse story. We’d require it, but don’t want to assign too much homework)
• RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!):
  • T:7-13 (2-way prepositions in the Dative)
  • S:7-2I (Great practice at listening for Accusative/Dative forms of der/das/die. The audio is terribly performed but very clear and good practice. It’s about two detectives following a woman who they think is a book-thief.

1.**SUBMIT** Lesen Sie den Text “Freiburgs Trainer Robin Dutt: ‘Bei uns lebt Multikulti'”.Click hereto download the text combined with vocabulary notes and a worksheet, which you should fill out and hand in.

• Read through the entire text once quickly without stopping (don’t let this take longer than 5 minutes!), then read it through one more time and answer the questions as you go. You only need to understand the text well enough to answer the questions. Please resist the urge to look up every unknown word, and try to answer the questions about word meanings without looking up those words – but do look up any other words that you think you should know by now.
• We strongly encourage you to work on this assignment in pairs or groups. If you do so, you can just hand in one copy of the worksheet with all your names on it, and you will all get the same grade!

2. Go to iLrn, click on the “Assignment Calendar” tab, choose “Kapitel 7” from the “Section” pulldown menu, and do: S:7-1M (Click on the map to see a larger version of it in a separate window. Ignore the numbers and the routes drawn on the map: these have nothing to do with this particular exercise)

• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!):
  • S:7-2D (Great practice for following directions. Scroll down and click on the map to see an enlarged version of the map in a separate window. Then just listen to the audio while ignoring the directions in the exercise, i.e. DON’T write down what you hear. Instead, just follow the directions on the map with your mouse. For Teil 1, your starting point is in front of the Hauptbahnhof; for Teil 2, your starting point is inside the Staatsgalerie; the audio begins by instructing you to go out on the Urbanstraße side and turn right)
• RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!):
  • T:7-15 (practice vocab for giving directions. Note the instructions to refer to the map on p. 259. Note: der Marktplatz (“Marktpl.” on the map) ist vor dem Rathaus, near the bottom of the map)

2.**SUBMIT**Listen to episodes 12 & 14 of the “Lernen to Talk Show”(click on the links below). Listen to each video at least twice. With the help of the subtitles and annotations, write down as much as you can of what was said, focusing on what seems useful and/or fun/interesting to you. Spend a total of 15-20 minutes on EACH of the two videos.

• This is a video blog done by a student who went to Germany for a year in 2011/12, studying and working there through the Congress Bundestag program. He created a series of 6-7 minute videos once a week to document his progress in the language, each of them carefully subtitled (and often also annotated). The subtitles and annotations actually show you some of the mistakes he makes as he speaks, which can be very instructive – and of course you’ll also hear lots of correct German (he’s a fast learner). Watching all of his videos systematically via the main page could be both instructive and inspiring, and is also great listening practice.

• (1) Look over the vocabulary and the explanations about the Subjunctive in the last two bullet points below
• (2) Read through the entire text once quickly without stopping, even if it feels like you aren’t understanding much
• (3) Do iLrn 11-2. You will need to refer to the pictures of the sights on p. 423. Click here for additional information about the sights in the pictures that will help with this activity (and when you visit Berlin ).
• (4) Finally, open your book to p. 427 and click on 11-4. Click the “Play” icon and listen to the text while reading along. Do this twice, then answer the questions.
• Vokabeln: die Verspätung = delay [Anna apologizes for arriving late]; erzähl mal von = tell me about; eine Kleinigkeit essen = to have a snack [eine Kleinigkeit: something small]; recht interessant = quite interesting; die Kuppel des Reichstags = the cupola (dome) on the Reichstag (parlament building); besichtigen = to go see a sight; sich vorher anmelden = to register in advance; kaum noch = hardly still [he’s telling Anna that the Berlin Wall has mostly been torn down, and he names the three locations where remnants of it can still be seen]; Abgemacht! = Agreed!/It’s a deal!; Pass mal auf = Listen (literally: pay attention); Klingt gut = Sounds good [VERY useful expression!]; einen Bummel machen = to go for a stroll; entlang = along [a street or river]; das neue Regierungsviertel = the new government quarter [i.e. district]; das jüdische Mahnmal = the Jewish memorial; Was willst du denn dort um diese Zeit? = But what do you want to do there at that hour [when there’s not a lot going on]?; hat von…geschwärmt = raved about; ich bin verabredet = I have a date/appointment to meet someone
• Subjunctive II: There are many examples of Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II) in the Anlauftext. Here is some more information about them: Picture 3: The Subjunctive lets us know that Anna did not end up seeing the Reichstag, even though she wanted to: ich hätte stundenlang anstehen müssen = I would have had to stand in line for hours. (Note that with modal verbs, the past subjunctive is formed by combining hätte (always hätte, never wäre) with two infinitives; the infinitive of the modal verb comes last) Picture 4: Ich hätte dich warnen sollen = I should have warned you (Past subjunctive with a modal verb again; note the two infinitives and hätte). Das würde mich schon interessieren = That would indeed (schon) interest me (We learned about the würde + infinitive form in Kapitel 9 already) Picture 5: Ich würde gern Potsdam sehen = I would like to see Potsdam (würde + infinitive again) Picture 6: Wir sollten damit bis Samstag warten = We should wait with that (damit) until Sunday. Dann hätte ich mehr Zeit = Then I would have more time (We learned that hätte = would have in Kapitel 9 already) Picture 7: Aber was würdest du dann für morgen vorschlagen? = But then what would you suggest for tomorrow? (würde + infinitive again) Picture 8: An deiner Stelle würde ich… = If I was you, I would… Am Nachmittag könnten wir… = In the afternoon we could… Picture 9: Das wäre schön = That would be nice (We learned that wäre = would be in Kapitel 9 already). Ich würde gern sehen… = I would like to see… (würde + infinitive again). Vom Brandenburger Tor aus könnten wir das machen = We could do that by starting from the Brandenburg Gate (vom BT aus) Picture 10: ich hätte noch einen Wunsch = I have one more wish [here, hätte just makes the request more polite]; Könnten wir… = Could we… Picture 11: Am Wochenende wäre es aber lebendiger = On the weekend it would be more lively, though (wäre = would be, again) Picture 12: Das hätte ich gleich ahnen sollen = I should have suspected that right away (Past subjunctive with a modal verb again; note the two infinitives and hätte)

• You actually see 20 questions out of an item bank of 30 for this particular exercise. To see all 30 items, click here. Note that this version of the exercise is not “submittable”; it’s just available for additional practice.

2. RECOMMENDED (but NOT required): iLrn: S:11-3B (vocab practice)

1. **SUBMIT** Aufsatz 4 (350 Wörter). Topic (“Thema”) and instructions on Canvas!

2. iLrn:S:11-1D, S:11-1E, S:11-1F, S:11-1J (For this one, “PR” means the “normal” Indicative Present Tense (Ich esse eine Banane); “NP” means the “normal” Indicative Narrative Past tense (Ich aß eine Banane); “SII” is for verb forms that are unambiguously one-word forms of Subjunctive II (Ich äße eine Banane); “NP/SII” is for verb forms that could be one-word forms of Subjunctive II or just “normal” Indicative Narrative Past tense forms, depending on the context (sagte, machte, lachte etc.). In practice, these are the forms where one would be most likely to use “würde + infinitive” to make it clear one means Subjunctive II (of course the “würde + infinitive” form is also common even for many of the unambiguous one-word forms: “ich würde essen” instead of “ich äße” etc. The goal of this exercise is just to make you more conscious of the possible one-word forms so you’ll recognize them when you see them.))

• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): S:11-1B (Subjunctive II practice), S:11-1C (Subjunctive II practice), S:11-1K (Subjunctive II practice: For each item, use Subjunctive II to say what your parents wish would be the case, and then Indicative to say what is actually the case)
• ALSO RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): T:11-12 (Subjunctive II practice), T:11-19 (Subjunctive II practice)

1. **Prepare for in-class Mini-Quiz** Lesen Sie Die Känguru-Chroniken, Seite 167-9, 179, 180, 182-184a & 185c. Click here to download some notes to help you with the text. Note that class will begin with a mini-quiz on the assigned reading.

• Remember the earlier advice for reading this book: work one chapter at a time. For each chapter, (1) read the notes, (2) read the chapter once without stopping, (3) re-read the notes and (4) re-read the chapter carefully.

2. iLrn: S:11-1G (just write one thing you would have done differently in each situation. For number 3, suggest alternatives for Armin’s behavior, not the mother’s or the doctor’s. Remember you need past subjunctive for this: hätte gekauft, wäre gegangen, etc.)

• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): T:11-17 (Practice forming the past tense of Subjunctive II with a modal verb, using the double infinitive construction. In this case, the modal verb will always be sollen. If the text says what I/we didn’t do, say that I/we should have done it; if it says what we did do, say that we shouldn’t have done it), S:11-1L (Past Subjunctive practice), S:11-1M (Subjunctive II practice)
• ALSO RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): T:11-13 (Subjunctive II practice), S:11-1H (Practice forming the past tense of Subjunctive II with a modal verb, using the double infinitive construction (which you will already see in the prompts, in which the know-it-all Peter says what he would have done). Because the clauses all start with “dass,” the verbs all go to the end. With the double infinitive construction, this works slightly differently than normal: instead of the conjugated verb (hätte) going to the very end, it actually comes just before the double infinitive. So, for the first item, you will write: “Katja, dieser Peter hat gemeint, dass er keinen ganzen Tag im Park Sanssouci hätte verbringen wollen.”), S:11-1I (Good practice of present and past Subjunctive. Note that you can write consequences in the Present or the Past Subjunctive: e.g. if I had slept in my German class (past Subjunctive premise), I wouldn’t be able to speak German now (Present Subjunctive consequence) OR I wouldn’t have met my current boyfriend/girlfriend (Past Subjunctive consequence))

• First, read “Deutschland: von der Monarchie zur Demokratie I, II & II” (pp. 434, 444 & 455), and this timeline of postwar German history in English. This will help you a lot with the rest of this assignment!
• Next, do T:11-22 and T:11-23. Hopefully, you will already know the answers to most of these questions, and be able to guess the rest via a process of elimination. If not, look up unknown vocabulary and look up events/people you’re not familiar with on Wikipedia as needed!
• Now scan the text, “Die Geschichte Berlins” (V Seite 446-7) for the answers to T:11-25
• Next, look up the words in bold print at the start of each question (i.e. “die Machtergreifung,” “stattfinden,” “besetzen” etc.) in T:11-26 (but DON’T do the activity)
• Next, read the text thoroughly in order to do S:11-1N and T:11-27.
• Finally, do T:11-29 (extrapolating some info about the Passive based on the text. Note that for question 2, none of the subjects in the examples are actually people, but they still want you to choose “a person or a thing” because in fact the subject of a Passive sentence can indeed be a person or a thing)
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): S:11-1O (Fill in the blanks in statements from/about the Absprungtext: good practice for learning this vocabulary and for understanding the text better)
• ALSO RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): S:11-1R (crossword puzzle: good vocab practice, though it’s an odd format for some of this very serious subject matter. Click here for some more info about how the iLrn crosswords work)

1. **Prepare for in-class Mini-Quiz** Lesen Sie Die Känguru-Chroniken, Seite 187d-190, 195-7, 237e-239. Click here to download some notes to help you with the text. Note that class will begin with a mini-quiz on the assigned reading.

• Remember the earlier advice for reading this book: work one chapter at a time. For each chapter, (1) read the notes, (2) read the chapter once without stopping, (3) re-read the notes and (4) re-read the chapter carefully.

2. iLrn: T:11-32

BITTE BRINGEN SIE NÄCHSTES MAL DAS KÄNGURU-BUCH!

1. **SUBMIT** Kapitel 11 iLrn assignments must be completed by the beginning of the next class!

This assignment will be graded as follows:

• 2 points for the Kapitel 11 iLrn activities that did NOT involve listening
• 2 points for the Kapitel 11 iLrn LISTENING activities

SUMMARY: Click here to see all the iLrn activities due in this chapter, in the order in which they were assigned!

• Click here to review the multiple ways in which the iLrn assignments are flexible, AND for some important information on how to use iLrn (note the details about “Mechanics” at the end!).
• If you’ve been following the recommended schedule, all you have left to do is S:11-2A ***as follows***: This is the only longer listening text we are assigning for this chapter. Please listen to the text two or three times and NOTE EVERYTHING YOU UNDERSTAND IN THE ANSWER WINDOW AS YOU LISTEN. Ignore the instructions in the activity, which only asks you to write down the names of the places that are mentioned in the passage. [Anna and her cousin Katja are visiting Leipzig. This listening text is great practice for the kind of language you will hear and use when you’re a tourist!]
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): S:11-2D (This is a very interesting text about life in the former DDR, using lots of vocabulary and structures we’ve learned in German 101 & 102. It will be hard to understand just by listening to it ==> please click here for a transcript of the text with extensive annotations (more annotations than you should need, to make sure it will be easy for you to follow along!))
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Click on the “Video Library” tab, ignore the first video, and watch the short interviews: Was halten Sie von der Wiedervereinigung? and Gibt es noch große Unterschiede zwischen Ost und West?
• ALSO RECOMMENDED (but NOT required!): S:11-1T (challenging reading practice), S:11-2B (This is a long, difficult, but very informative text on the history of Germany. If you want to try it, email Hartmut: then he can send you an annotated transcript of the text in order to help you follow along), S:11-2E (For number 10, remember that the verb “möchten” is technically a subjunctive form, even though we don’t usually think of it that way), S:11-2F (Subjunctive practice. Each item consists of a statement followed by a question. The question always assumes that the activity mentioned in the statement really happened, and you have to decide if that assumption is logical. In order to decide if the dialogue is logical, you need to listen for whether the initial statement is in the indicative (in which case it really happened and so the question makes sense) or in the subjunctive (in which case it did not happen and so the question doesn’t make sense))
• **ALTERNATIVE** If you feel strongly that iLrn is not a good way for you to learn, please do this alternative worksheet instead. Please choose this option only if you are SURE you will learn more from the worksheet than from iLrn!!

1. Lernen Sie für das Endexamen! IDEEN:

• Go to iLrn, click on the “Self-tests” tab, and take “Post-Test 11,” and as many of the earlier “Diagnostic Tests” as you have time/patience for.
• Visit this page to review the Kapitel 11 Teil 1 & Teil 2 video lectures, and as many of the earlier video lectures as you have time/patience for.
• Review the annotated Kapitel 11 vocabulary list. Hopefully, you have already saved the document with your own highlights and deletions to make it as useful as possible for you for studying for the test; if not, you can do so now! If you have time, review the annotated vocabulary lists from Kapitel 7-10 as well!
• Lesen Sie im Web über Konjunktiv II, über Active vs Passive Voice und über das Passiv. You need not “submit” the diagnostic exercises electronically, but of course we encourage you to try them, as well as the practice exercises.
