Lesson Comments
Joshua was 15 minutes late this morning again so I gave him a nice "warning" that if he continues to be late I will have to subtract a half a point per class. Other than that the lesson went well.
Discussed the future tense - using werden or an adverb of time. p 329, 330. Discussed and translated German cartoon using the future "Poesie" by Erich Rauschenbach, then had conversations about what our dream jobs would be Exercise 2 "Wunschträume". Then Joshua had some extra time at the end of class to show me how far he's gotten on his project about Composers and work on it a little.
