2 WORKSHEETS FOR STUDENTS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GDR
1 PPT with my own answers (you may wish to watch the clip and edit answers, although it’s not 100% necessary!)
A worksheet to be used whilst watching avery accessible 45-minute video from br.de about the history of the DDR. The video is in German and the questions relate directly to the video and are in order of information.
I split this up with my Year 12 film students into 4 lessons:
Firstly, we translated the questions and guessed what the answers could be / discussed this in small groups and as a class
Secondly, students watched the video in their own time (as homework) to get the gist and add little bits to their sheets
Finally, we worked together in the lesson - I played the video and stopped for each question. Students worked in pairs and fours to add further information and then I went through it with them to complete the worksheet.
This resource is a PDF worksheet with 8 questions to practise and consolidate the German present tense regular verbs from scratch. If required, use alongside the video lesson for cover work or as homework, for example.
If you are introducing regular present tense verbs in German or if your students are struggling with German verb conjugation, then this Present Tense: German Regular Verbs Worksheet is here to help! Tailored for German teachers for cover work or for use in lessons, as well as beginner German students (KS3, Year 7 and Year 8), this worksheet provides a structured and interactive approach to mastering the present tense in German.
