Aim
To review the German sound-spelling link.
Sesamstraße
Remind students of the simple sound-spelling differences between German and English (German s / z /
st / sp / v / ie / ei and umlauts, for example). Give and collect in examples from the class before telling
them that they are going to see and hear some phrases from exercise 1. According to their
understanding of the German sound-spelling link, students write the phrases / key words on miniwhiteboards as you read them and share their answers with a partner. Collect ideas from the class,
underlining orthographic rules in German as they are identified.

Aim
To develop vocabulary memorising techniques.
Memory race
Refer students to the ten phrases in exercise 1 on page 6. Students list the phrases in order of ease of
learning. Give them three minutes to learn them and then they test each other in pairs. Ask students to
reflect on exactly what they did to learn the vocabulary: Did they use cognates / parts of words they
already knew / spot patterns in verb endings? Collect ideas and ask students to consider the techniques
their peers used next time they are learning or reviewing items of vocabulary.
[R] Give students word cards to draw up a list of items in order of ease of learning. Encourage students

3 Gruppenarbeit. Frag vier Personen.
Speaking. In groups of five, students practise the phrases from exercise 1 by asking four other people
what they do on the computer, following the example provided. Students should make a note of each
answer in preparation for exercise 4. Encourage students to mention more than one activity in their
answers, and to use just one key word for their notes rather than whole sentences, e.g. E-Mails rather
than Ich schreibe E-Mails.
<GB>Grammatik: Present tense verb endings
Use this grammar box to review present tense singular verb endings. Ask students to give you
examples using the other verbs from this unit. Ask them to point out how the irregular verb laden is
different from the regular verbs (the vowel is changed by adding an umlaut). This grammar box will
help students prepare for exercise 4. For more on the present tense, see the Student’s Book, page 195.

Writing. Students write an entry for their (imaginary) blog about the role of computers in their life.
They write one sentence on each of the computer activities from exercise 1. Encourage students to say
how often and when they do each activity and to give an opinion with an intensifier. They do not need
to include these in every sentence. There is a checklist to help students remember what to include.
[+] The exercise challenges students to write a further sentence on each activity about a friend or
family member, using the er / sie form of the verb.
[ICT] Challenge students to investigate changing the language on their social networking profile. Ask
them to surf some pages of German young people at home (ensuring that parental controls and
safeguarding are in place).

Speaking. This is a dice game in which students practise talking about television likes and dislikes.
Students throw the dice twice, once to select a symbol and once to select a television programme. They
then say the resulting sentence. For example: 2 (one heart) + 4 (the news) would make: Ich mag die
Nachrichten.
3 Lies den Text. Wie heißen die blauen Wörter auf Englisch?
Reading. This activity develops the language of the previous two exercises by adding opinion words
(many of which were introduced in Unit 2). Students read Lotte’s text about her television likes and
dislikes and translate the blue adjectives into English, by selecting from the choices given.
[R] When translating the words that may not be familiar, remind students to look for cognates and for
parts of a word that they recognise, then to work out the rest by a process of elimination. Students can
use the glossary or a dictionary if needed.

Speaking. Students practise talking about their television likes and dislikes and their favourite
television programme. Students then work in pairs to ask and answer the five questions using the key
language box for support.
[+] Ask students to make notes of their partner’s answers and write about his / her preferences, using
the third person singular form of the verb. Explain that ich mag becomes er / sie mag as this is an
irregular verb.
6 Was siehst du im Fernsehen? Wie findest du die Fernsehsendungen?
Writing. Students write an email to their German friend about their television likes and dislikes, giving
their opinions of the programme types they mention. They should use the key language box for support
and refer to the skills box to include a range of structures for expressing opinions in their email.

Dice gamble
Students work in groups of four and decide who will play first, second, third and fourth – this choice is
the gamble. The first student throws a die. A number one corresponds to five seconds, number two to
ten seconds and so on (multiples of five). The first student must talk about different programmes and
what he / she thinks about them for that length of time. The other three players throw the die when it is
their turn to talk – they are not allowed to change order.
As the other students are listening, ask them if they can hear any adverbs of frequency, time references
and adjectives being used.
[+] Number one corresponds to ten seconds, number two to 20 seconds (multiples of ten)

<GB>Grammatik: Plural forms
This grammar box reminds students that there are several ways of forming the plural in German. Go
through the box with students and ask them to point out the plural nouns in the sentences from exercise
1. Can they tell you or find out the singular form of each of these nouns? You could ask them to do the
same with other plural nouns from this unit, such as television programmes, and then challenge them to
spot the different plural forms that these nouns use. For more on plural forms, see the Student’s Book,
page 198.
