We read about visiting people in Germany. The sentences of the text are scrambled and Michael has to put them in the right order. Then we read about telephoning from public phone booths. Finally Michael takes the test for Level A.1.1.

We review the personal pronouns in the accusative case and fill in the blanks of a text with the missing pronouns. We read about when it is appropriate to call people in Germany. We talk about how it is in Argentina. We review word order in questions with modal verbs. Michael puts sentences in the right order. We look at a listing of television programs in Germany and figure out what's what (news, sports, weather...)

We review words that describe basic feelings (hungry, sad..). I do an interview with Michael with sentences that start with: How do you feel when... We review dependent clauses and form sentences starting with "warum" (why), "weil" (because), and "wenn" (when). We listen to a dialogue in German in which a young man is asking his mother where his things are and she tells him where to look for them.

We learn expressions that describe feelings (e.g. happy, sad, angry, tired, sick, hungry, etc.) and we learn how to use dependent clauses (e.g. When I am sick I stay in bed.) We listen to children and adults talk about what school they go to and complete a text with the missing words. We do an exercise reviewing prepositions of location and the dative case.

Michael is on a field trip today. It was a last minute decision. So I stay at school and prepare the lessons for next week.

We read about the German, Austrian, and Swiss school systems and talk about them. We review the names for some common occupations and say where the people work (e.g. at school, at a bank, etc.) We look at pictures and say where people and things are, reviewing the prepositions of location and the dative case.

We practice questions. I have Michael complete questions with the missing verbs. Then I have him fill in the blanks of another text with the right question words. Then we play interviewer and interviewee and ask each other questions.
We look at pictures of people doing different occupations and learn names for the occupations in German. We talk about what the people do as part of their work.
We practice differenciating words with long and short vowels and we practice tongue twisters that have a lot of "Umlaute".

We practice the imperative by telling an imaginary German shepherd to sit, come, etc. We practice using the dative case by looking at the picture of a kitchen and saying where things are located in relation to other things. We talk about how frequently we go grocery shopping, cook, wash dishes, etc.
We pretend Michael won the lottery and is buying gifts for his friends and family, he says what he buys for whom, practicing the dative case. We look at a story in pictures in which Josef buys gifts for his family and Michael says what he buys for whom.

We review prepositions of location and describing where something is located.
We listen to a foreign student talk about studying in Germany. Michael pretends he has to interview this student. He has to come up with questions to ask her.
We talk about colleges and universities in Germany and Austria.
We listen to a German high school student talk about his day. We review the imperative.

We go over Michael's homework. Then we practice modal verbs in sentences. We reread the story "Cleaning Up" and translate it. We listen to children and young people talk about the school they go to. We read over what they have said and fill in the missing words in the texts. We practice asking people to do something by using the imperative.
