A Divided Germany Learning Objective: To understand the differences between life in West and East Germany.

You are going to be either a West or an East German Task 1. You are going to find out what your life was like post 1945, politically, socially and economically. Task 2 You will then get to meet your counterpart in the other part of Germany and compare your lives Task 3 You will then write him or her a letter describing your life.

Task 2. Guten Tag, Ich heisse………. Walk and talk activity for approx 7 minutes. Try to talk to several people.

Task 2 continued Go back to your original groups. What did you discover about life on the other part of Germany. How is it different- try to think analytically here. Use your shared knowledge to make notes.
