Why this why now

This unit on everyday culture revisits and extends known grammar in new contexts of family relationships and festivals and traditions. Da- and wo-compounds are revisited and extended in use with verbs plus a range of prepositions. Direct and indirect object pronouns are also revisited, along with reflexive verbs in both statement and question form. The rich context includes examples of women as role models in motor sport, an article on young carers and Karneval in Germany. Vocabulary is extended with a rich text on world religions celebrated in Germany.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know the definite article in the accusative and dative cases, with correct spelling contractions for example 'vom', 'zum'
  • Pupils know singular direct object pronouns
  • Pupils know some da-compounds, for example 'darauf', dafür, 'damit'.
  • Pupils know demonstrative adjectives like 'dies-', 'jed-',and the interrogative adjective 'welch-'.
  • Pupils know some reflexive verbs and the reflexive pronouns 'mich, dich, sich, uns, euch, sich'.
