Introduction to German class



As we wrap up 3rd quarter in Introduction to German, we had one last fun project to do.  We studied animal vocabulary, and how to talk about our favorite animals.  Then to finish up the unit each student had to create a 'compound animal' using the German grammar concept of compound nouns; where multiple nouns are put together and the gender of the last noun is the gender of the whole word.  (Which is why German as 40+ letter words! Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän (Danube steamship company captain))  Everyone created a compound animal from at least three of the different vocabulary words we learned.  Here are just a few of the cool creatures created by the Intro to German class!
Picture 1: Der Schildkrötetintenfischhai (Turtle-Octopus-Shark)
Picture 2: Der Tintenfischschweinseestern (Octopus-Pig-Starfish)
Picture 3: Der Hundkatzewaschbärtiger (Dog-Cat-Raccoon-Tiger)
Picture 4: Das Schildkrötepenguinetigernashorn (Turtle-Pinguine-Tiger-Rhino)
