This is to support AQA German A level, Hodder & Stoughton book Kapitel: Kunst und Architektur, page 74-77 .
It now also includes two 360 degree tours to introduce and practise architectural vocab.
I have used this in combination with semerson6’s resources https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-german-a-level-hodder-and-stoughton-book-kunst-und-architektur-11486144.
The first task is about the famous buildings mentioned in the “Zum Einstieg” box at the beginning of the chapter. The powerpoint “Berühmte Gebäude” contains pictures of each of the buildings, showing each one for a few seconds and then moving on to the next (it plays in a loop). While watching the presentation students should fill in the worksheet about the name, country and function of the building.
The web tasks ppt contains a link to an overview sheet of different styles that I found online. After going through the vocab with the students, they then use their devices to go to 360cities.net to look at a 360 degree view of the buildings (they are the same ones from the text on p. 75 which can be used as the answer sheet) and work out what style they represent.
My students enjoyed that task very much and I think it bring architecture a bit more to life.

<p>Power point for the first lesson to show students your expectations for careful copying in German lessons. Students are shown a sentence on the whiteboard and asked to copy it carefully. Then potential mistakes are highlighted and students have to check their own work, e.g. do they have an underlined title, capital letters and umlaut.</p>
<p>An activity for a first lesson with a class. My favourite color, number ect with a twist. Good to get to know the class and revize word endings and word order. First slide is an example, second slide is vocab and third slide the worksheet which the students copy and fill in the gaps. Same activity in French and German. Have corrected some of the mistakes, if you find more, please let me know!</p>
