Here are the suggested assignments--but please be aware that your instructor may make changes to this in class!
Please remember that late homework will receive a "check minus," and homework that is more than two class days late may not be accepted (unless, of course, you have a good excuse for handing it in late). If you notice any mistakes, please email Hartmut or inform your instructor!
What we DON'T care about: Your score on the iLrn exercises. In fact: If you score 100% for everything, your instructor may wonder whether you read this advice!
What we DO care about:
How/Why we chose the iLrn assignments, and how to get the most out of them:

Alternative to the iLrn Listening Activities:
Stunde 1: Mittwoch, 6. Januar | To understand this homework schedule, imagine your instructor saying "This is what you have to do for the NEXT class." ==> What is listed here today is due TOMORROW (JANUARY 7). Work through the numbered items one by one. The red **SUBMIT** indicates something you need to HAND IN on paper (if it's a worksheet) or electronically (online exercises and iLrn). For iLrn, it's best to complete the activities when they show up on this schedule (and to READ the additional details about them in this schedule!), but iLrn only HAS TO be completed when you see the **SUBMIT** next to it. 1. If your physical copy of the book has not yet arrived, you will need to print pages 2-7 for tomorrow's class (Stunde 2) [die Stunde = hour]. You can print from the eBook tab in iLrn, but it's probably easier for you to find the pdf of Chapter 1 of Vorsprung on CTools and print the first few pages of that (Resources > Vorsprung_Kapitel1.pdf) 2a. Sehen Sie [=watch] das Kapitel 1 Video. Klicken Sie hier! 2b. **SUBMIT** When you're ready, click here to take the online Kapitel 1 "pre-quiz." 3. Lesen Sie [=read] die Kursinformation, und Vorsprung [V] Seite xxiii-xxiv ("To the student" - but ignore Vorsprung's advice to "avoid memorizing lists of words") 4. OPTIONAL: Watch the "Kapitel 1 Videos zum Spaß [=for fun]." These include e.g. the "Twist and Shout" Scene from Ferris Bueller; David Hasselhoff singing auf Deutsch; Sesame Street (Sesamstraße) auf Deutsch; & Die Toten Hosen: Zehn kleine Jägermeister. |
Stunde 2: Donnerstag, 7. Januar | To understand this homework schedule, imagine your instructor saying "This is what you have to do for the NEXT class." ==> What is listed here today is due on MONDAY (JANUARY 11). Work through the numbered items one by one. The red **SUBMIT** indicates something you need to HAND IN on paper (if it's a worksheet) or electronically (online exercises and iLrn). For iLrn, it's best to complete the activities when they show up on this schedule (and to READ the additional details about them in this schedule!), but iLrn only HAS TO be completed when you see the **SUBMIT** next to it. 0. If you are still printing out Kapitel 1 bit by bit, what you will need for Stunde 3 is pages 2-16. 1a. Begin learning the Kapitel 1 vocabulary. Klicken Sie hier! 1b. **SUBMIT** When you're ready, click here to take the Kapitel 1 Vokabelquiz. You need a score of 80% or higher in order to get a "check."
2a. Follow the instructions you received via CTools Announcements to register for your section of the iLrn course for German 101. If you no longer have the email, find it via the "Announcements" tab on CTools! 2b. Go to iLrn (hlc.quia.com; complete step (2a) above first!), click on the "Assignment Calendar" tab, choose "Kapitel 1" from the "Section" pulldown menu, and do: S:1-1F, S:1-2I (note the directions to write down the numerals as you listen, then go back and also write out the numbers), S:1-2J, S:1-3B (Click here for general info on iLrn assignments)

This is not an official homework assignment: we just want to make sure you can all post to the blog before the first blog assignment is due. |
Stunde 3: Montag, 11. Januar | To understand this homework schedule, imagine your instructor saying "This is what you have to do for the NEXT class." ==> What is listed here today is due TOMORROW (JANUARY 12). Work through the numbered items one by one. The red **SUBMIT** indicates something you need to HAND IN on paper (if it's a worksheet) or electronically (online exercises and iLrn). For iLrn, it's best to complete the activities when they show up on this schedule (and to READ the additional details about them in this schedule!), but iLrn only HAS TO be completed when you see the **SUBMIT** next to it. 0. If you are still printing out Kapitel 1 bit by bit, what you will need for Stunde 4 is pages 2-31. 1a. Go to iLrn, click on the "Assignment Calendar" tab, choose "The Sounds of German" from the "Section" pulldown menu, and do S:S-1, S:S-2, S:S-3, S:S-4, S:S-5, S:S-6 [In each case, make the window large enough so you can see the words and the recording controls; click "Submit" when you are satisfied with your recording. Don't worry about making mistakes: just go ahead and submit your first or second effort, and make a mental note of anything you want to work on.]
1b.

Work through the numbered items one by one. The red **SUBMIT** indicates something you need to HAND IN on paper (if it's a worksheet) or electronically (online exercises and iLrn).

3. OPTIONAL: Schoolhouse Rock! For an entertaining and nostalgic review of the basics of English grammar (which will help you a lot to understand the grammatical concepts in this course, and your future German courses), review some of the classic Schoolhouse Rock episodes. Even if you know all about grammar, you may want to watch the classic "Conjunction Junction." Newer, but very sweet and particularly helpful for this course, is "The Tale of Mr. Morton," which explains subjects and predicates. Check out the related videos to find more. [Nothing to do with grammar, but the other must-see Schoolhouse Rock classic is "I'm Just a Bill."]
