Lesson plans and teaching materials for teachers of German at Hauptschule, Realschule, Gesamtschule, and Gymnasium, grades 7-10. These 30 ready-made "Sternstunden" (star lessons) for the four curriculum areas "speaking and listening," "writing," "reading - dealing with texts and media," and "reflection on language" guarantee that your students will enjoy German as a subject through exciting and true-to-life topics. For example, they will discuss with Goethe about the importance of friendship in times of social media, learn the difference between description and depiction through a visit to the dentist, which they experience with all their senses, work out a pantomimic interpretation of a short story, analyze the meter, rhyming scheme, and linguistic means in current songs about Berlin, and, following in Bastian Sick's footsteps, deal with the question of how to speak German.
