Introduction

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

Overview

Welcome to Grade 10 German. This course is intended for students who have already completed Grade 9 German and have a basic understanding of the language. In the Grade 9 German course, you began to develop your knowledge of the German language. In this course, you will continue to add many new words to your German vocabulary, as well as develop a more in-depth understanding of the structure of the language. In doing so, 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 will 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.

I n t r o d u c t i o n 3

What Will You Learn in This Course?

In the Grade 10 German course, you will read German text and listen to the accompanying audio files that follow the journey of Andreas Hoffmann and his friends, who live in Königswinter, a small town that overlooks the Rhine river in Germany. This course reads like an adventure novel. Most of the lessons revolve around the story. Listening to the stories on the audio recordings and following along in the text will help you develop your German language skills.

The journey of Andreas Hoffmann and his friends will also help you learn new vocabulary and the grammatical rules that are essential to meaningful communication in German.

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

How Is This Course Organized?

The Grade 10 German course is divided into the following three modules:QQ Module 1: The Adventure at the Drachenfels (Das Abenteuer am Drachenfels)QQ Module 2: The Exchange Students (Die Austauschschüler)QQ Module 3: Time Travel (Zeitreisen)

Modules 1 and 2 consist of 12 lessons and Module 3 consists of 13 lessons. Most lessons showcase German text, German vocabulary (Wortschatz) lists drawn from the featured text and/or from the coursework, with English translations, as well as explanations of grammatical rules that are essential to meaningful communication in German. The lessons include Übungen (learning activities) that will help you to practise, understand, and learn grammatical concepts and rules (Grammatikübungen). They will also help you to complete your Aufgaben (assignments) and the midterm and final examinations. You need to make your way through the lessons in the order they are presented in the course.

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

G r a d e 1 0 G e r m a n4


QQ Audio Files: Most lessons include German text narrating the journey of Andreas Hoffmann and his friends. This text is recorded on the Grade 10 German Independent Study Audio Files, which are required for the course. Listening to the German audio 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): Many of 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 lesson 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 the 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 mail or electronically 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.

Lessons 6 and 12 of Module 1, Lesson 6 of Module 2, and Lesson 6 of Module 3 will give you opportunities to review and practise what you have learned in the preceding lessons. In Lesson 12 of Module 2, you will prepare for your midterm examination, and in Lesson 13 of Module 3, you will prepare for your final examination.

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 website links 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 you keep 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. The assignments are worth a total of 60 percent of your final course mark.

To do well on your assignments, you should first complete the Übungen and check your responses against those provided in the applicable Answer Key for Übungen. Remember to keep all marked assignments until you have finished the course, so that you can use them to study for your examinations.

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 the 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.

Extended ResponsesThe Aufgaben that require an extended written response come with assessment criteria. Make sure you look at them carefully to know what you need to do in order to receive full marks.

Audio RecordingsIn some Aufgaben, you will be asked to audio record your own reading of the German text in a given lesson and submit your audio recording to your tutor/marker. If you would rather complete the oral assignment in a telephone conversation, contact your tutor/marker to schedule a suitable time to do this. You may wish to arrange to do several oral readings at one time.

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.

Your tutor/marker will use the following rubric to assess all your audio recordings or oral readings in this course. If you have questions, contact your tutor/marker.

Introduction

Welcome! Herzlich willkommen!

Before you set out on your journey for this course, please take a few minutes to review this short introduction, which tells you what you need to know right now. There will be many opportunities to read more information later on.

Your journey in this course is meant to be interesting and educational. The course writers developed this course together with a group of educators who believe that language learning can be a lot of fun, even when you are learning independently. This course reads a little like an adventure novel. The lessons in the three modules of this course recount the adventures of Andreas Hoffmann and his friends, who live in Königswinter, a small town that overlooks the Rhine river in Germany. All the lessons keep this story going, some ending with cliffhangers. Listening to the story on the audio files that accompany the course and following along in the text will help you develop your ear for the language.

You will have many opportunities to develop the German language skills you have already acquired. Each lesson will showcase new vocabulary and clearly explained grammatical rules that are essential to meaningful communication in German. The lessons include Übungen (learning activities) that will help you practise, understand, and acquire these grammatical rules. Your work in the Übungen will be helpful when you work on your Aufgaben (assignments) and when you prepare for the midterm examination (which you will write at the end of Module 2) and the final examination (which you will write at the end of Module 3).

ReminderPlease make your way through the lessons, learning activities, and assignments in the order they are presented in this course. The sequence of learning activities is designed to help you study and learn efficiently.

Introduction

StorylineIn this lesson, you will meet Martin and his friend Andreas, and you will begin your journey. Es geht los! (We’re on our way!)

Grammar FocusYou will learn how to recognize two verb tenses: the simple past and the present perfect. You will also explore a strategy for learning new vocabulary. In later lessons, you will learn about several other strategies.

Es geht los!

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

Es war der erste Tag der Sommerferien in Königswinter. Martin lief schnell die Ölbergstraße hinunter. Er hatte sich mit Andreas verabredet. Jeden Samstag trainierten die beiden Jungen für das kommende Mountainbike-Marathon. Sie hatten noch sechs Wochen um zu trainieren.

Martin and his friends train for a bike marathon


Aber an diesem Morgen lief alles schief. Martin war sauer. Anton, der Freund seiner Mutter, hatte sich ohne Erlaubnis Martins Mountainbike geliehen. Er ärgerte sich besonders über seine Mutter. Sie hatte es ja erlaubt.

Martin musste noch fünf Minuten laufen bevor er sein Ziel erreichte. Es war ja noch sehr früh, ungefähr neun Uhr, und deshalb klopfte er ganz leise an der Hintertür des Weinhauses, wo Andreas und seine Familie auch wohnten. Vielleicht schlafen Andreas’ Eltern noch, dachte er sich.

Andreas öffnete sofort die Tür.

„Hallo, Martin! Wo ist denn dein Mountainbike?“

„Na, der Anton hat es sich wieder mal geliehen—ohne mich vorher zu fragen.“

„Das ist wirklich gemein. Anton ist ein Idiot. Weiβt du was? Wir nehmen Ansgars Rad. Ich kann ihn ja beim Frühstück fragen. Ich glaube, er macht Pfannkuchen. Willst du mit uns essen?“

„Aber ja!“ antwortete Martin sofort.

Ansgar war Andreas’ achtzehnjähriger Bruder. Ansgar war großzügig und sehr nett. Martin war Einzelkind, und er wünschte sich oft einen älteren Bruder. Ansgar war immer für seinen Bruder da. Zehn Minuten später aßen Ansgar, Andreas und Martin ihr Frühstück. Es gab Pfannkuchen, belegte Brötchen und Kaffee. Die Eltern lagen noch im Bett und schliefen.

Beim Frühstück fragte Andreas seinen Bruder: „Können wir dein Fahrrad leihen? Der blöde Anton hat sich einfach Martins Rad genommen, ohne ihn vorher zu fragen.“

Ansgar antwortete sofort: „Aber ja. Das ist doch ok! Ich weiß, ihr müsst doch für euer Mountainbike-Marathon trainieren.“

Martin freute sich. Er fand Ansgar einfach cool. Zehn Minuten später waren Martin und Andreas auch schon unterwegs. Aber an diesem Morgen würde noch vieles passieren.

Übung 1.1

Acquiring New Vocabulary (Wortschatzübung)

An Übung is a learning activity that will help you to complete your Aufgaben (assignments) and Examen (examinations). You will not submit any of your completed Übungen to your tutor/marker for assessment. You can check your own work for each Übung by comparing your responses to those provided in the Answer Key for Übungen at the end of each module.

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 in fact 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 acquire new vocabulary effectively.

For this Übung, please complete the following steps in the specified order:1. Read the story on the opening pages of this lesson once while listening to

the audio recording. (At the end of this lesson, you will record your own reading of it.)

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.5. Take a few minutes to reflect on your success with this learning strategy:

QQ How useful did you find this strategy? Describe how it worked for you. QQ Did you make any changes to the strategy? If yes, what changes did you

make?

Grammatikübungen

The Simple Past Tense

In previous courses, you learned how to conjugate verbs (action words) in the present tense. In this course, you will learn how to recognize verbs in the simple past tense.

In both English and German, the simple past is formed using one verb. The simple past tense is used to show that an event already happened. The event lies in the past.

Read the following examples of verbs in the simple past tense. The verbs appear in bold type.

Examples Es war der erste Tag der Sommerferien. It was the first day of summer vacation.

Martin lief die Straße hinunter. Martin ran down the street.

Jeden Samstag trainierten die beiden Jungen für das kommende Mountainbike-Marathon.

Every Saturday the two boys trained for the mountain-bike marathon.

An diesem Morgen lief alles schief. On that morning everything went (ran) wrong.

Martin war sauer. Martin was angry.


Übung 1.2

Recognizing the Simple Past Tense

Read the following text and underline all the verbs that are in the simple past tense.

TipIn a German story, it is usually the narrator (storyteller) who uses the simple past. The simple past is less frequently used in dialogue when the characters are talking to each other.

Martin musste noch fünf Minuten laufen bevor er sein Ziel erreichte. Es war ja noch sehr früh, ungefähr neun Uhr, und deshalb klopfte er ganz leise an der Hintertür des Weinhauses, wo Andreas und seine Familie auch wohnten. Vielleicht schlafen Andreas’ Eltern noch, dachte er sich.


„Hallo, Martin! Wo ist denn dein Mountainbike?“


„Das ist wirklich gemein. Anton ist wirklich ein Idiot. Weiβt du was? Wir nehmen Ansgars Rad. Ich kann ihn ja beim Frühstück fragen. Ich glaube, er macht Pfannkuchen. Willst du mit uns essen?“

„Aber ja!“ antwortete Martin sofort.




The Present Perfect Tense

The present perfect tense is made up of two verbs: a helping verb (haben or sein) and a past participle. Think of the helping verb and the past participle as a pair.

Read the following examples of verbs in the present perfect tense. The verbs appear in bold type.

Examples Ich habe den Pfannkuchen gegessen. I have eaten the pancake.

Anton hat sich das Fahrrad geliehen. Anton has borrowed the bike.

Ich habe ihn gefragt. I have asked him.

Hast du den Kuchen vergessen? Have you forgotten the cake?

Ich bin nach Hause gefahren. I have driven home.


Übung 1.3

Recognizing the Present Perfect Tense

Read the following text and underline all the verbs that are in the present perfect tense.


„Hallo, Martin! Wo ist denn dein Mountainbike? Hast du dein Fahrrad vergessen?“


„Das ist wirklich gemein. Anton ist wirklich ein Idiot. Weiβt du was? Wir nehmen Ansgars Rad. Ich kann ihn ja beim Frühstück fragen. Ich glaube, er macht Pfannkuchen. Hast du schon Frühstück gegessen?“

„Nein, ich habe noch nichts gegessen! Ich habe Hunger und Durst. Ich bin die Ölbergstraße hinuntergelaufen“, antwortete Martin sofort.




Übung 1.4

Identifying the Simple Past and the Present Perfect Tenses

Identify the correct tense in each of the following sentences and translate the sentences into English. Some examples are provided.
