Description of Assessment (Performance Project):

Day 10:
- Projekt H) Zeitungsbericht:
Each group will write an article (in English) for the school newspaper about the class trip to Berlin. Each member of the group chooses ONE of the following topics: the hotel, museums, sights, or activities. (The actual writing will take place outside of class.)
- Projekt I) Tagesplan:
Using the information gathered in projects A-C, groups discuss in German to construct the daily schedule for their trip, including all the sights, museums and evening activities. As they complete this process, they should take into account the proximity of the locations and the opening hours/days of the sights in order to create a schedule which makes the most efficient use of their limited time in Berlin. Each group should produce and hand in a final schedule with days, times, and activities listed in German. (NOTE: Much of the schedule will be identical with the rest of the class, but the list of evening activity choices will vary among groups, depending on the choices of the individuals in each group.)
HOMEWORK:
- Projekt H) Zeitungsbericht:
