Description

This unit revisits strong and weak verbs in all persons, as well as numbers, question formation, negation and adjective agreement. Vocabulary is revisited and extended as pupils describe event preparations, pictures and paintings.

Consolidation of the present tense continues in this unit as pupils build on recent prior knowledge of 'ihr' (you informal) in contrast to er/sie/es. Existing vocabulary knowledge is extended as pupils describe birthday celebrations. Cultural background is provided with the iconic '99 Lufballons' song. Pupils deepen their understanding of negation, possessive adjectives and adjective agreement as they apply these in describing pictures (orally) and a painting (in writing). Places and paintings in German-speaking countries and cultural context.

  1. Plan an event: present strong verbs, 'you' pronouns 'ihr', 'du', 'Sie' and 'man'
  2. How you celebrate your birthday: present tense strong verbs, plural nouns
  3. What do you see? negation: kein + indefinite article vs nicht + definite article
  4. Describe a picture: adjective agreement, accusative and dative definite articles
