Description

This unit introduces prenominal adjective agreement in nominative and accusative cases. It equips pupils with the knowledge to describe themselves and others in more detail. It will also analyse how to vary giving reasons with 'denn' (word order 1) or 'weil' (word order 3).

Building on pupils' prior knowledge and frequent revisiting of nouns and articles in the nominative and accusative cases, this unit introduces (prenominal) adjective agreement. Pupils learn to apply this knowledge in descriptions of themselves and others. Drawing on previously taught grammar on word order 1 and verbs of opinion (mögen, finden), pupils extend their descriptions of themselves by adding reasons with the conjunction 'denn', and 'weil' with word order 3. Pupils explore and adapt an authentic text to express personal likes and dislikes more creatively.

  1. Things I like: nominative adjective agreement, definite and indefinite articles
  2. What makes me happy: adjective agreement, read and respond to a poem in writing
  3. Appearance: adjective agreement (accusative)
  4. Describe others: adjective agreement (accusative), female person nouns with -in
  5. Explain likes and dislikes: 'weil' vs 'denn', word order after 'weil'
  6. Opinions and reasons: 'weil' vs 'denn', word order after 'weil'

  • Pupils know definite and indefinite articles in the nominative and accusative cases.
  • Pupils know the verb 'mögen' with a noun to express an opinion.
  • Pupils know a range of high frequency nouns and adjectives.
