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 (September 6). 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, blog posts 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 book has not yet arrived, please 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 Canvas and print the first few pages of that (Files > Vorsprung Scans > Vorsprung3e Kapitel1.pdf)
2. Lesen Sie [=read] die Kursinformation.
3. Lesen Sie Vorsprung Seite xxiii-xxiv ("To the student")
- Ignore Vorsprung's advice to "avoid memorizing lists of words"!
4a. Sehen Sie [=watch] das Kapitel 1 Video. Klicken Sie hier!
4b. **SUBMIT** When you're ready, click here to take the online Kapitel 1 "pre-quiz."
- Suggestion: Keep the video lecture open in a separate window while you work on the quiz, so you can refer back to it as needed!
5. OPTIONAL: "Kapitel 1 Videos zum Spaß [=for fun]." Watch the ones that look interesting to you. This chapter's videos include e.g. the "Twist and Shout" Scene from Ferris Bueller; David Hasselhoff singing auf Deutsch; Sesame Street (Sesamstraße) auf Deutsch; & a music video classic by Die Toten Hosen: Zehn kleine Jägermeister.
- If you enjoy these, you could write about them for your first AMD in a few days!
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."
- Click here for more info and troubleshooting advice about this assignment (what if I score below 80%, why is my score 0, what if nothing happens when I click "submit" etc.)

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.]
- If you have trouble getting the recording function to work, don't worry: just do the assignment (i.e. repeat all the words) without recording, and then send an email to your instructor that you completed the "Sounds of German" assignment, but weren't able to get the recording function to work.
1b. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Click here for some great online resources on Pronunciation, including some YouTube video summaries by a musician who has mastered multiple languages, and a great interactive site from the University of Iowa.

To describe a 'bridge,' which is feminine in German and masculine in Spanish, the German speakers said 'beautiful,' 'elegant,' 'fragile,' 'peaceful,' 'pretty,' and 'slender,' and the Spanish speakers said 'big,' 'dangerous,' 'long,' 'strong,' 'sturdy,' and 'towering.'"

1a. Sehen Sie das Kapitel 5 Video. Klicken Sie hier!
1b. **SUBMIT** When you're ready, click here to download a worksheet on the Kapitel 5 grammar, which you should fill out and hand in!
- This list of irregular verbs you should know by Test 5 should help you with the worksheet. If a verb is not listed, assume it's a weak verb.
- Here is another version of the same list, less alphabetical, but grouping the verbs by their patterns of stem-changes. Browse through this list for 5 minutes a day every day until you have a feel for the forms of the strong verbs.
- In choosing between haben or sein as the auxiliary verb, remember to use sein for changes of location and changes of state, and haben otherwise. In deciding if something represents a change of state, remember what matters is whether the person performing the action changes state: if I kill Kenny, I don't change state ==> Ich habe Kenny getötet. If Kenny dies, he changes state: Kenny ist gestorben.
- Suggestion: Keep the video lecture open in a separate window while you work on the worksheet, so you can refer back to it as needed!
