4th Year Standard Grade Folio. 'Die Gesundheit'.

4th years,

You already have the vocabulary booklet for this unit which contains lots of useful vocab to help you write your essay. If you have lost your copy, you can download a copy that I uploaded on the blog on January 30th (see further down this page).

I am attaching additional help for your essay to this post. There is a help sheet to give you some advice to structure your essay, and some additional vocab that is not on the vocab sheets, but may be especially useful for those of you who would like to explore the topic in more detail and those who are aiming for a credit grade.

All of this is for guidance only. You are free to structure your essay as you wish. It is your piece of work.

4th Year Vocabulary booklet: Gesundheit

Here is a soft copy of the vocabulary booklet for the 'Die Gesundheit' unit. If you have lost your hard copy you can use this to help you write your folio piece.

Happy Holidays!

Just a quick message to wish all of my classes a good October holiday, and to inform any visitors to the blog that the schools in Angus are now on a break for 2 weeks, if you are wondering why the blog is quiet. We will be back on 16th October. In the meantime, you can enjoy the latest Podcast from the 1st years in class 1L2!

Radio Mighty Mo!

Hallo!

We are class 4P2, and welcome to our radio station! For our first programme, we are out and about in the streets of Montrose, interviewing people about their jobs. We hope you understand everything. There are a couple of mistakes but we did pretty well for our first proper programme. Enjoy!

Happy European Day of Languages

Happy European Day of Languages to all my pupils and visitors to the blog. If you are a pupil at the school, you might have seen the posters that we put up this morning in various European languages. Can you guess which languages they are?

We also had a 'Euro-Cafe' in the library at break time today to say goodbye to our German exchange visitors who have been with us for just over a week and went home at lunch time today. There were a few tears shed, and overall I think everyone involved really enjoyed the experience.

Another thing for us to celebrate is that this blog, which has only been running for a few weeks, is growing quite dramatically. There have now been 1321 hits on the site! Plus, nearly 700 of those have been in the last 7 days, so our visitor numbers are continuing to grow all the time. Hopefully it will continue!

Look out shortly for a new podcast recording from 4P2!

4P2 Classwork in IT Suite 21/09/06

Class 4P2,
As this is the first time that I have taken you to the IT suite, we will spend some time looking at the blog and the different sections/links and looking at some of the comments that people left about your first podcast. I will give you some time to look through it yourself. Then I would like you to complete 2 tasks.
1: Write a comment for this post (I will show you how). You must write a few sentences in German introducing yourselves. You are all very capable of communicating in German by now, so I would like more than just your name, age, and where you live. Try to write a couple of interesting facts about yourself so that I, and other visitors to the blog can get to know you all better.
2: Write a second comment to one of the different posts on this page. This could be for the first years, as we listened to their podcast in class the other day, or perhaps for 4Q1 (the other 4th year class), as they posted their own comments on Monday. This second comment can be in English or German.
