Postkarte!

Pic Collage! 

Students will make a picture collage that will be a visual representation of the answers to these questions about their summer vacations:


1. Bist du im Sommer geschwommen? In einem See oder in dem Meer oder im Schwimmbecken?

2. Hast du Freunde oder Familie besucht visited? Wen whom?

3. Bist du ins Restaurant gegangen? Was hast du gegessen / gemacht?

4. Hast du wilde Tiere im Zoo, in den Bergen, oder im Wald gesehen?

5. Was hast du gespielt?

6. Was war deine Lieblingserinnerung? favorite memory Warum***?


WARUM: This will require you to say because. We can use 'denn' to say because and it doesn't change the sentence structure. However, for an A, you must use 'weil'. Weil means because, but it changes the sentence structure.

Ich esse gern Eis denn es schmeckt gut.

Ich esse gern Eis weil es gut schmeckt.

In past tense:
Ich habe die Milch getrunken denn ich habe Durst.

Ich habe die Milch getrunken weil ich Durst habe.

Here is my Summer Picture Collage:
