This a version of a resource I've already uploaded. It focuses on gender and the change in masculine articles in the Accusative. Instead of the 'Family' vocab in the other version, this one features vocab from 'Der Hobbit' and was made to help some Tolkien fans in my year 9 FL2 class to have a rudimentary conversation about the film.
Relatively simple text about a boy who is werewolf and why this makes it hard for him to go out with his best friend's sister. Followed by questions in English.

This a stripped down version of the KS4 text I uploaded, which is called Untergang der Titanic. Hopefully this will be accessible for relative beginners. There is a stimulus text, a vocab list to aid comprehension, questions in English, a 'find the phrase' exercise, a manipulation exercise, some FAQs to comment on and research, and a writing task to wrap it up. I've put the rubrics in English and German. These can be edited one way or the other to suit your group.
Powerpoint in which students must (i) play Kim's Game with an image of Springfield and (ii) use the picture of Springfield as a stimulus for oral work.
