Description

This unit explores the manipulation of singular persons of weak verbs in question and answer forms. It also provides pupils with an important cultural insight into the lives of famous historical and present German-speaking personalities. Pupils practise the sound-symbol correspondence [er].

Pupils continue to consolidate their knowledge of present tense weak verbs in this unit whilst learning more about a range of famous German speakers, past and present. Pupils apply their knowledge in a more challenging context with extended reading, listening and writing tasks. Foundations are laid for writing and speaking tasks (interviews and conversations) in later units as pupils practise manipulating verbs between (singular) subjects in question and answer form.
