Eighth Grade German Frau Teri Jacob Fifteen years at Sperreng Two years in Seventh grade Two years in Sixth grade Eleven years in Eighth grade Fifth year at Truman teaching 6-8 th grade Modern Language Department Chair BA from Knox College MA from Maryville University Have spent over three years living in Germany

Program Eighth grade is the last two-thirds of level one German. Students will: develop language comprehension, practice the language orally and in writing, expand their conversational abilities, and be presented with more complex grammar structures.

Program Students will have homework every day in addition to quizzes, projects, speaking and writing assessments, chapter tests, and a final exam. I recommend spending 10 minutes a night reviewing German vocabulary words. This can be done using the textbook, their German binder, or my website.

Supplies 1 inch Binder 5 dividers for binder Paper Pens and pencils Box of Kleenex Three ringed pencil pouch (optional)
