European Stereotypes

As the Euro­pean cri­sis rat­che­ts up ant­ago­nism bet­ween count­ries, the­re has been a rise in name-cal­ling and fin­ger-poin­ting: from lazy sou­ther­ners to domi­nee­ring nor­t­her­ners, with ple­nty in bet­ween. And that’s befo­re the foot­ball starts this sum­mer. The six news­pa­pers in the Euro­pa pro­ject were asked to ste­reo­ty­pe each other, and then asked cul­tu­ral com­men­ta­tors in each coun­try to assess how accu­ra­te they are

HW Stoned Students

Stu­dy the fol­lo­wing son­net and look up the lin­ked words. If you don’t under­stand the Eng­lish defi­ni­ti­on look up the word/phrase at PONS.

You tell them (erken­nen an) by their wobbling zig­zag stride —
They stag­ger into class for one half-hour,
Head down and col­lar up, so as to hide
The fact that eyes are gla­zed and breath is sour.

HW Facebook’s Friendship Trap

Stu­dy this text and look up and learn the bold words. Look up words at term­ly or Lin­guee, the OALD does not work at the moment.

Here’s the ori­gi­nal text.

mp3DirectCut

… ist ein aus­ge­zeich­ne­tes, kos­ten­lo­ses Tool um MP3-Datei­en direkt zu bear­bei­ten. Ich benut­ze das Pro­gramm zum Bei­spiel um Hör­ver­ste­hens­tex­te zu bear­bei­ten und um ein Musik­stück für eine Sport- oder Tanz­vor­füh­rung an einer bestimm­ten Stel­le zu schneiden. 

HW SPIEGEL ONLINE

Go to the Ger­ma­ny sec­tion of SPIEGEL ONLINE and choo­se an inte­res­t­ing artic­le. If none of the cur­rent artic­les inte­rests you, go to the archi­ve.

Print out your artic­le and prepa­re a short talk about it. Prac­ti­se until you can speak flu­ent­ly WITHOUT ANY NOTES.

Variatio motus delectat

… bedeu­tet „Die Viel­falt der Bewe­gung erfreut“. Die­ses Mot­to soll­te m.E. nicht nur für den Sport­un­ter­richt des ein­zel­nen Leh­rers gel­ten, son­dern auch für den gesam­ten Sport­un­ter­richt an einer Schule.

HW Be Wonderful and Wise

Go to the Eng­lisch Blog, watch the ama­zing video and learn the given words.

If you are­n’t abso­lut­e­ly sure how to pro­no­un­ce e.g. „blanch“ and „brai­se“ cor­rect­ly (and I KNOW that you are­n’t ;-)) look them up in the OALD.

PS. The video is a gre­at oppor­tu­ni­ty to prac­ti­se your know­ledge of film ana­ly­sis (pdf).

How to Focus in the Age of Distraction

… ist der Titel einer ganz wit­zi­gen Mind­map-Gra­fik.  (Tipp von Max Mül­ler bzw. Mar­ti­na Baasner)

HW The Story of an Hour

Read this „web­text“, click on the red pas­sa­ges, stu­dy the notes
and try to ans­wer the ques­ti­ons oral­ly. If the­re are any words you don’t know, look them up as usu­al at PONS and/or the OALD.
