Course Overview
Jessica Hannan
Culture, history and stories that take students through various parts of Germany are
discussed in German III Honors and Level 2 to improve conversational skills. Maps,
slides, and videos are used to familiarize students with the geography of German-speaking
countries. Passive voice and subjunctive mood are taught to further enhance the students
translation and writing skills. The methods of assessment at the honors level are different
from those used to evaluate level 2 performance; higher levels of proficiency are expected
at the honors level.

Grading Policy:
Assignments, tests, quizzes, presentations, participation, etc., will be assessed through a point system. Deadlines will be
assigned and generally reminders given via ahsddeutsch.weebly.com for homework and other assignments. Rubrics will
often be used to assess participatory activities, etc. Please be sure to follow all directions when completing work as this
can affect the grade.
Language Learning:
If a student has other opportunities to learn about the language or culture outside of the classroom, it will strengthen their
ability in that language over time. If there should be events tied to German language or culture that should arise, and your
student attends, then they will be welcomed to write a short report (1-2 pages) on their experience(s).
Culture:
Students are eligible to complete occasional assignments on the culture of Germany if they should encounter it outside of
class. Students may be asked occasionally to write about and/or present about experience(s) they have had with the
language or culture of Germany outside of class.
Language Lab
Language lab is scheduled to take place on Thursdays.

Code) that 13. Completing work following an absence from school is a students responsibility. It is your responsibility
to make up missed assignments. This is not always possible during class time. There will be times that the student will
have to make up a missed assignment by appointment.
