Introduction

I n t r o d u C t I o n

Overview

Welcome to Grade 11 German. This course was developed for students who have already completed the Grade 10 German course. In the Grade 11 German course, you will have an opportunity to build on what you have learned previously. You will continue to add many new words to your vocabulary, as well as develop a more in-depth understanding of the structure of the language. In the process, you will enhance your ability to speak, read, and write in German, and expand your understanding of the language.

Given that approximately 100 million people worldwide consider German to be their first language, your developing German language skills may help you to establish relationships with German-speaking people across the globe. Not only can your knowledge of this language assist you in your international travels, but it can also help you to communicate with the many Manitobans who speak German, including Hutterites, Mennonites, and newcomers to Canada who have originated from German-speaking lands. A greater ability to communicate in the German language can also provide you with various opportunities in areas such as tourism, business, and employment, and contribute to your enjoyment of the arts and literature.

As a student enrolled in a distance learning course, you have taken on a dual role—that of a student and a teacher. As a student, you are responsible for mastering the lessons and completing the learning activities and assignments. As a teacher, you are responsible to check your work carefully, noting areas in which you need to improve and motivating yourself to succeed.

This course is meant to be interesting and educational. It was developed by a group of educators who believe that language learning can be a lot of fun, even when you are learning independently.

The following information will help you to navigate your way through the course and the work you must complete in order to earn your course credit.

What Will You Learn in This Course?

The Grade 11 German course, much like the Grade 10 German course, features an ongoing narrative. The entire course follows several teenagers on a wild adventure into the past as they explore important events that have shaped Germany as we know it today. As you work through each module, you will learn more about the characters of this story and their time-travel adventures.

Throughout the course, you will also strengthen and expand your knowledge of German vocabulary and grammar and your ability to communicate clearly in German.

How Is This Course Organized?

The Grade 11 German course is divided into the following three modules:QQ Module 1: The Watchmaker (Der Uhrmacher)QQ Module 2: On the Way Home (Auf dem Heimweg)QQ Module 3: “I Am a Berliner” („Ich bin ein Berliner“)

Lessons

Each module in this course consists of 12 lessons. Because this course features an ongoing narrative, you need to make your way through the lessons in the order they are presented in the course; otherwise, the story will not make sense.

The lessons showcase German text narrating the adventure story, as well as German vocabulary (Wortschatz) lists drawn from the featured text and/or from the coursework, with English translations, and explanations of grammar rules that are essential to meaningful communication in German. The lessons include Übungen (learning activities) that will help you to practise, understand, and learn grammar concepts and rules (Grammatikübungen). The Übungen will also help you to complete your Aufgaben (assignments) and the midterm and final examinations.

Most lessons in this course are organized as follows:QQ Introduction: Each lesson begins by telling you what you will be focusing

on in the lesson.

QQ Lesson: The main body of the lesson is made up of the content that you need to learn. It contains text, images, explanations, and completed examples of grammar exercises.


QQ Audio Files: Most lessons include German text narrating the ongoing adventure story. The featured text is recorded on the Grade 11 German Independent Study Audio Files, which are required for the course. Listening to the German recordings of the story while following along in the written text will help you to develop your ear for the language.

QQ Wortschatz (Vocabulary List): Key words and phrases from the German reading text (and audio files) and/or from the German grammar concepts featured in a given lesson are listed in the Wortschatz, alongside their English translation.

QQ Grammatikübungen (Grammar Exercises): The listening and reading tasks are followed by grammar discussions and exercises, which are mainly a review of the fundamental concepts of German grammar. Whenever possible, the exercises concentrate on connecting the grammar with the text you have read and heard.

QQ Übungen (Learning Activities): Most lessons include one or more Übungen that will help you to learn about the story adventures and grammar concepts and prepare you for the assignments and the midterm and final examinations. Once you have completed a learning activity, compare your responses to those provided in the Answer Key for Übungen found at the end of the applicable module. You will not submit your completed learning activities to your tutor/marker.

QQ Aufgaben (Assignments): Most lessons include an Aufgabe. Once you have completed an assignment, please keep it in a safe place until it is time to submit it to your tutor/marker for assessment. You will submit your completed assignments to your tutor/marker for assessment six times, following the instructions provided later in this course Introduction. In total, the assignments are worth 60 percent of your final course mark.

In Lessons 6 and 12 of Modules 1, 2, and 3, you will review and practise what you have learned in the preceding lessons and assess your progress in the course. The learning activities in these lessons will help you to prepare for the examinations. Lesson 12 of Module 2 provides a preview (Vorschau) of the midterm examination, and Lesson 12 of Module 3 provides a preview of the final examination.


What Resources Will You Need for This Course?

You do not need a textbook for this course. All the content is fully developed directly within the course and in the audio files that accompany the course. You will, however, need access to a variety of resources.

You will require access to an email account if you plan toQQ communicate with your tutor/marker by emailQQ use Blackboard Learn to submit your completed assignments

A valid email account is required for your Blackboard Learn profile. The website address for Blackboard Learn is https://bblearn.merlin.mb.ca/. You were issued a username and password when you registered for this course.

The required and optional resources for this course are identified below.

Required Resources

For this course, you will need access to the following resources. If you do not have access to one or more of these resources, contact your tutor/marker.Q English-German dictionary: You may use a dictionary while working on

this course. You may also use a bilingual print dictionary while writing the midterm and final examinations. Access to an electronic dictionary will not be allowed during the examinations.

Q Q Audio-recording equipment: For several assignments (Aufgaben 1.2 and 1.8), you will audio record an oral task and submit the audio recording to your tutor/marker for assessment. Alternatively, you may complete the oral assignment in a telephone conversation with your tutor/marker.

Q Q Audio files and equipment to listen to audio files: Throughout this course, you will have opportunities to listen to recordings of the German narrative included in the lessons. The set of audio recordings, entitled Grade 11 German Independent Study Audio Files, is available on Blackboard Learn at https://bblearn.merlin.mb.ca/. If you do not have access to the Internet, or if you need a copy of the audio files, contact the Independent Study Option (ISO) office at 1-800-465-9915.

Optional Resources

It would be helpful if you had access to the following resources.Q Photocopier/scanner: With access to a photocopier/scanner, you could make

a copy of your assignments before submitting them so that if your tutor/marker wants to discuss an assignment with you over the phone, each of you will have a copy. It would also allow you to continue studying or to complete further lessons while your original work is with the tutor/marker. Photocopying or scanning your assignments will also ensure that you keep a copy in case the originals are lost.

Q Computer with word processing software: Access to word processing software (e.g., Microsoft Word) would help you complete some assignments.

Q Q Computer with Internet access: Some lessons suggest websites as sources of information or for supplementary reference and reading. If you do not have Internet access, you will still be able to complete the course, but you will need to find different ways of accessing information.

Internet Safety

If you choose to use the Internet to do research, be safe. The Internet is a valuable source of information and should be used responsibly. Talk to your parents/guardians about Internet safety, and use the following guidelines when going online:QQ Choose a user name that does not tell your name, gender, age, or other personal

details.QQ Never give anyone private information.QQ Do not answer emails from strangers.QQ If someone asks you to keep your relationship with him or her a secret, stop

talking to the person and immediately tell your parent/guardian.QQ Do not email or post pictures or files to anyone.

The above is not a complete list because no list can possibly cover all dangerous situations. Use your common sense and be careful.

Who Can Help You with This Course?

Taking an independent study course is different from taking a course in a classroom. Instead of relying on the teacher to tell you to complete a learning activity or an assignment, you must tell yourself to be responsible for your learning and for meeting deadlines. There are, however, two people who can help you be successful in this course: your tutor/marker and your learning partner.


Your Tutor/Marker

Tutor/markers are experienced educators who tutor ISO students and mark assignments and examinations. When you are having difficulty with something in this course, contact your tutor/marker, who is there to help you. Your tutor/marker’s name and contact information were sent to you with this course. You can also obtain this information in the Who Is My Tutor/Marker? section of the distance learning website at www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/dl/iso/.

Your Learning Partner

A learning partner is someone you choose who will help you learn. It may be someone who knows something about German, but it doesn’t have to be. A learning partner could be someone else who is taking this course, a teacher, a parent or guardian, a sibling, a friend, or anybody else who can help you. Most importantly, a learning partner should be someone with whom you feel comfortable and who will support you as you work through this course.

Your learning partner can help keep you on schedule with your coursework, read the course with you, check your work, look at and respond to your learning activities, or help you make sense of assignments. You may even study for your examinations with your learning partner. If you and your learning partner are taking the same course, however, your assignment work should not be identical.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism IS a big deal with serious consequences, so it’s important that you understand what it is and how to avoid it.

What is plagiarism? In brief, plagiarism is taking someone’s ideas or words and presenting them as if they are your own.

How can you avoid plagiarism?QQ Begin your research early. Research takes time. Allow enough time to search for,

evaluate, and read sources, and to get help if you need it. Always document your sources immediately.

QQ Present your research by quoting and paraphrasing. Q When you use a quote, you use the exact same words with quotation marks,

and you indicate exactly where it came from. Q When you paraphrase, you rewrite an author’s idea using your own words

and you do not use quotation marks (but you also make sure to state clearly whose idea it is).

QQ Learn how to use different citation styles. QQ Give credit where credit is due. Never pretend someone else’s idea is your own.


How Will You Know How Well You Are Learning?

You will know how well you are learning in this course by how well you complete the learning activities, assignments, and examinations.

Übungen (Learning Activities)

The Übungen in this course will help you to review and practise what you have learned in the lessons. You will not submit the completed learning activities to your tutor/marker. Instead, you will complete the learning activities and compare your responses to those provided in the Answer Key for Übungen found at the end of each module.

Make sure you complete the learning activities. Doing so will not only help you to practise what you have learned, but will also prepare you to complete your assignments and the examinations successfully. Many of the questions on the examinations will be similar to the questions in the learning activities. Remember that you will not submit learning activities to your tutor/marker.

Aufgaben (Assignments)

Each module in this course contains assignments, which you will complete and submit to your tutor/marker for assessment. You are not expected to submit each Aufgabe one at a time; rather, you will submit several Aufgaben together, following the instructions provided later in this course Introduction. Please note that you will need to include the applicable Cover Sheet when you submit your assignments. The Cover Sheets are provided at the end of this Introduction.

The tutor/marker will mark your assignments and return them to you. Remember to keep all marked assignments until you have finished the course, so that you can use them to study for your examinations. The assignments are worth a total of 60 percent of your final course mark.

Writing ProjectsSome assignments (Aufgaben 1.12, 2.6, 2.11, and 3.11) will require you to write a final version of a narrative or short story in German. Detailed assessment criteria are provided for these assignments. Make sure you look at them carefully to know what you need to do to receive full marks.


Audio Recordings or Oral Readings In several assignments (Aufgaben 1.2 and 1.8), you will be asked to audio

record your own reading of German text and submit your audio recording to your tutor/marker. If you would rather complete the oral assignment in a phone conversation, contact your tutor/marker to schedule a suitable time to do this. The recordings/readings will be assessed primarily for correct and clear pronunciation.

You can obtain information about audio-recording options in the Grading and Evaluation section of the distance learning website at www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/dl/iso/.

Midterm and Final Examinations

This course contains a midterm examination and a final examination. QQ The midterm examination is based on Modules 1 and 2, and is worth

20 percent of your final course mark. You will write the midterm examination when you have completed Module 2.

QQ The final examination is based on Modules 1, 2, and 3, and is worth 20 percent of your final course mark. You will write the final examination when you have completed Module 3.

To do well on the examinations, you should review all the work you completed in this course, including all the Übungen and Aufgaben. Lessons 6 and 12 of Modules 1, 2, and 3 will give you opportunities to review and practise what you have learned in the preceding lessons. Lesson 12 of Module 2 provides a preview of the midterm examination, and Lesson 12 of Module 3 provides a preview of the final examination.

The questions in the examination preview lessons are similar to those in the actual examinations you will be writing. The answer keys provided for these lessons will enable you to check your responses. This will give you the confidence you need to do well on your examinations. You do not need to submit your work for the examination preview lessons to your tutor/ marker.

The two examinations are worth a total of 40 percent of your final course mark. You will write both examinations under supervision.


Requesting Your ExaminationsYou are responsible for making arrangements to have the examinations sent to your proctor from the ISO office. Please make arrangements before you finish Module 2 to write the midterm examination. Likewise, you should begin arranging for your final examination before you finish Module 3.

To write your examinations, you need to make the following arrangements:Q If you are attending school, your examination will be sent to your school

as soon as all the applicable assignments have been submitted. You should make arrangements with your school’s ISO school facilitator to determine a date, time, and location to write the examination. For more information on examination procedures, please contact your ISO school facilitator or visit the Grading and Evaluation section of the distance learning website at www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/dl/iso/.

Q If you are not attending school, check the Examination Request Form for options available to you. The form was mailed to you with this course. Three weeks before you are ready to write the examination, fill in the Examination Request Form and mail, fax, or email it to

ISO Office 555 Main Street Winkler MB R6W 1C4 Fax: 1-204-325-1719 Toll-Free Telephone: 1-800-465-9915 Email: [email protected]

m o d u l e 1

Introduction (Einführung)

Welcome to Module 1.

This German language course tells the story of a time-travel adventure that begins when a group of friends is mysteriously transported into the past: Germany 1945. They find themselves in a war-ravaged country desperately looking for a way home. It doesn’t take them long to discover that they were sent on a mission and that fulfilling it may be their ticket home. On their journey home, they will come face to face with people and events that shaped German history. The characters are fictional; however, the context in which the plot unfolds is not. The narrative is, therefore, a piece of historical fiction. The adventure continues throughout the three modules of this course.

Audio Files

Throughout Modules 1 to 3, you will be required to listen to the audio recordings of the German narrative included in the lessons. The set of audio recordings, entitled Grade 11 German Independent Study Audio Files, is available on Blackboard Learn at https://bblearn.merlin.mb.ca/. If you do not have access to the Internet, or if you need a copy of the audio files, contact the Independent Study Option (ISO) office at 1-800-465-9915.

Language and Grammar Focus

Each module contains 12 lessons that will help you to develop your language proficiency in German. In Module 1, you will focus on developing your German vocabulary and your reading comprehension, and on learning the following grammar concepts:QQ the formation of verb tenses: the present tense, the past tense, the present

perfect tense, and the past perfect tenseQQ the correct use of punctuation marks in GermanQQ the use of direct and indirect speechQQ the function or role of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives in sentences QQ the declension of adjectives


Übungen

Each lesson in Module 1 offers Übungen (learning activities) that will help you to practise the use of German vocabulary and grammar. Your work in the learning activities will help prepare you for your Aufgaben (assignments), as well as the two examinations. You will not submit your completed learning activities to your tutor/marker for assessment. Instead, you can check your own work by comparing your responses to those provided in the Module 1 Answer Key for Übungen. Übungen that do not require a written response do not have answer keys.

Introduction

StorylineVery few people today carry pocket watches. Nonetheless, Martin acquires one under questionable circumstances. Was it a theft? Or was he meant to have it? This incident sets the adventure in motion.

Grammar FocusThe Übungen in this lesson will focus on the present tense. You will learn how the present tense is formed and how it is used in conversational German.

Eine Straßenbahnfahrt im Regen

As you read the following text, listen to the audio recording of the text (Audio—M1, L1).

Ihr kennt mich nicht. Ihr habt sicher noch nie von mir gehört. Ich selber tauche auch nur sehr viel später in dieser Geschichte auf. Dann werde ich ausführlicher von mir erzählen. Inzwischen dürft ihr Folgendes wissen. Ich bin Uhrmacher von Beruf, aber kein gewöhnlicher. Gewöhnliche Uhren messen die Zeit. Meine haben auch andere Zwecke. Außerdem steht eine meiner Uhren im Mittelpunkt dieser Geschichte und darum erzähle ich sie auch gerne. Meine Geschichte fängt mit einer Straßenbahnfahrt im Regen an.

Es war ein verregneter Samstagmorgen, als Andreas, Martin und Mia mit der Straßenbahn nach Bonn fuhren.

Taking a streetcar


Die Jugendlichen stiegen an der Haltestelle Plittersdorfer Straße ein. Sie waren durchnässt, aber trotzdem guter Laune. An dem Ton ihrer Unterhaltung bemerkte ich sofort, dass sie sich gut verstanden.

Andreas sprach als Erster. „Mensch, Martin! Wir schleppen die arme Mia bei diesem Wetter in die Bonner Innenstadt. Das Mädchen erkältet sich noch. Willst du sie mit einem Schnupfen nach Kanada zurückschicken?“

Mia ergriff das Wort: „Nur keine Angst, Andreas. Der Regen macht mir nichts aus. Ich bin wasserdicht. Übrigens bin ich für dieses Abenteuer verantwortlich.“

„Ja, das stimmt!“, erklärte Martin. „Mia will sich eine alte Taschenuhr anschaffen. Funktionieren muss sie nicht unbedingt. Sie muss nur alt sein und cool aussehen. Dieser Ausflug kann nicht mehr lange warten, denn in drei Tagen ist Mias Aufenthalt hier vorbei.“

„Aber was willst du denn mit einer alten Taschenuhr?“, fragte Andreas.

Old-fashioned pocket watches

Auf diese Frage hatte Mia keine Antwort parat und dachte einen Augenblick darüber nach.

Ich wartete auf ihre Antwort.

„Ich glaube“, sagte sie, „das fing alles mit unserem Ausflug nach Dresden und zum Deutschen Uhrenmuseum in Glashütte an.“


„Ja! Das war eine Reise durch Raum und Zeit!“, meinte Andreas.

Andreas hatte Recht. Die Kleinstadt Glashütte südlich von Dresden ist seit mehr als 150 Jahren ein Zentrum deutscher Uhrmacherkunst. Da werden mehr als 400 einmalige Uhren ausgestellt: hauptsächlich Glashütter Taschen- und Armbanduhren verschiedener Epochen, historische Urkunden und Werkzeuge.

Eine meiner Uhren ist auch dort.

Übung 1.1

Acquiring New Vocabulary

Any dictionary will tell you that Wortschatz means “vocabulary.” Like many German words, Wortschatz is a compound noun. It is made up of two words: Wort, meaning “word,” and Schatz, meaning “treasure.” When you develop your vocabulary, you are gathering a treasure of words. These words become yours to use. In this Übung, you will learn new vocabulary that you will need for the Aufgabe at the end of this lesson. You will also practise a learning strategy that will help you to acquire new vocabulary effectively.

Strategy for Acquiring New Vocabulary

For this Übung, please complete the follow steps in the specified order: 1. Read the story on the opening pages of

this lesson once while listening to the audio recording.

2. Read the story a second time, highlight unfamiliar words in the story, and then look for them on the Wortschatz list that follows.

3. Review and study all the words on the Wortschatz list, using the following strategy:a) Read the list several times while listening to the audio recording.b) Cover the right-hand column with a heavy sheet of paper and translate

each of the German words or phrases into English. As you say the English meaning of each word or phrase out loud, move the sheet down to uncover the correct answer. When you are confident you can translate the words in this order, mix things up a little by starting at the bottom of the list and working your way up.

4. Listen to the audio recording of the story again and follow along in the text.

Übung 1.3

Using the Present Tense

Complete each of the following sentences using the specified verb (given in parentheses) to form the present tense. An example is provided.

Some verbs in this learning activity are separable prefix verbs (e.g., auftauchen, ankommen, anfangen, ausmachen). This means that the prefix is separable from the stem of the verb and goes to the end of the sentence or clause. You will learn more about these kinds of verbs in Module 2. In this learning activity, the prefixes (e.g., auf-, an-, aus-) are underlined. Conjugate the stem part of the verbs according to the subjects, just as you would any verb in the present tense.

Example (kennen) Ich kenne euch nicht.

1. (kennen) Ihr mich nicht.

2. (auftauchen) Ich selber auch nur sehr viel später in dieser Geschichte auf.

3. (ankommen) Du morgen in Dresden an.

4. (erzählen) Sie (she) ihre Geschichte.

5. (fahren) Wir nach Bonn.

6. (dürfen) Inzwischen ihr Folgendes wissen.

7. (sein) Ich Uhrmacher von Beruf, aber kein gewöhnlicher.

8. (messen) Gewöhnliche Uhren die Zeit.

9. (haben) Meine Uhren auch andere Zwecke.

10. (stehen) Außerdem eine meiner Uhren im Mittelpunkt dieser Geschichte.

11. (erzählen) Darum ich sie auch gerne.

12. (anfangen) Meine Geschichte mit einer Straßenbahnfahrt im Regen an.
