Unlike a Northern German version of Hot Potato salad, with lots of sugar-- this Bavarian version is more savory, with a subtle taste of bacon and just a little bit of sugar. There is an unconventional "secret ingredient" my Mutti started to use, and it works! She made pounds of this every day at her Bavarian Delicatessen and it always sold out every single day.

A cheesy mustard spread made with German beer - perfect for dipping pretzels!

A colleague of mine several years ago had lived in Austria - during my first year teaching German, she gave me this old menu she happened to have. It was from an Eiscafé in Vienna. Nothing too fancy - just eight menu items in a small pamphlet style menu. The great thing was that it went along perfectly with the Deutsch Aktuell, Kapitel 6B. This unit adds to the earlier vocab list on food by giving different drinks and types of ice cream. It's relatively easy to find online menus or pictures of menus, but here was a real one straight from Europe for students to see! I made a bunch of color copies and laminated them to give it more of a menu-like feel (and makes it more durable - I made them six years ago and still use them each year). It's authentic but more than comprehensible enough for German 1 students. They love that they have something they can actually read all of! If you'd like the full menu and questions I use, it's available on TPT - just click here! - Frau Leonard

I FREQUENTLY SEE WORLD LANGUAGE TEACHERS ASKING ABOUT GOALS FOR THEIR CLASSES... or, trying to answer a student who asks, 'Why are we doing this?'. I suspect this question is raised in all content areas, most especially as students are no longer buying into the 'learn for the sake of learning' mantra nor the 'because you will need it in the future' explanation. As Joshua Cabral of World Language Classroom so rightly notes in his interview on the Inspired Proficiency podcast (Nov 6, 2018 episode), students want to see meaningful application of the learning NOW, not later. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REWORK THE LEARNING GOALS IN MY ELEMENTARY SPANISH CLASSES to reflect in their wording a greater purpose and/or meaning-changing the idea of 'we are doing this because you are learning Spanish' 'or, we are doing a Movie talk so you can practice your Spanish vocabulary' to goals that reflect community and connection. This is how I frame it in my mind: WHAT IF WE WEREN'T WORKING TOWARDS STUDENTS MOVING ALONG THE PROFICIENCY LADDER but rather PROVIDING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE LANGUAGE AS IT'S BEING LEARNED TOWARDS A GREATER PURPOSE? What if we were using the language for enjoyment- singing a song together just because IT'S FUN, reading a picture book because IT'S MESSAGE IS INSPIRING, playing a game together because IT BRINGS US ALL CLOSER TOGETHER? What if we are using the language TO SOLVE PROBLEMS or to LEARN NEW INFO we are interested in? I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO ADMIT, these musings don't bring up anything particularly new, especially for elementary teachers who've taught content-based instructions as a matter of course... and I'm super excited to see more teachers incorporating the environment and social justice, amongst others... and yet, I know for many, a large number of theme or unit goals still lie somewhere in the linguistic realm; after all, we are hired as language teachers, right? That is what we are supposed to do, teach language. But, what if we re-envision how we frame the purpose for what we do in class? SO HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO: GO FROM a goal written like this: Student will use greetings & leave takings appropriately TO: Students will reflect their partnership in our class community by brightening someone else's day via the greetings & leave takings they use with one another (in Kid Speech: Let's brighten someone else's day by greeting them!) BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A GREETING? Is it to show you know how to say one? or is it truly to say 'I see you, I acknowledge you, I care about you.'? Here's another example: GOING FROM: Student can write a description of a familiar object or person TO: Students' descriptions of their pets allow all of us in the class community to learn more about each other (Kid Speech: Let's learn more about each other's pets!) BECAUSE WHEN WE KNOW MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER, we are more likely to respect one another, period. and: GOING FROM: Student demonstrates comprehension of verbal directions TO: Students take care of classroom materials by listening to, and following, classroom instructions (Kid Speech: Taking care of our classroom also takes care of our planet) BECAUSE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR SPACE AND MATERIALS contributes to taking care of the earth- recycling, not wasting materials so we don't need to throw them away prematurely, etc. and: GOING FROM: Student demonstrates comprehension of written text TO: Based on information drawn from written texts, student learns more about their favorite animal. (Kid Speech: Let's learn more about our favorite animals!) BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE SEVEN YEARS OLD, learning about what a panda eats is pretty darn interesting and engaging! LET ME TELL YOU, this is a slow and challenging process as I weed through the many goals for my program and re-envision them with the above thoughts in mind, and I know they aren't perfect by any measure! And, I suspect that some goals just might not be re-envisionable (I know that's not a real word but it serves lol) and that's ok. However, what I observe is that when I articulate goals like the ones above to my students, they really RESONATE. This tells me I'm on the right track, even if I am bumbling along as I do it :) I RAN ACROSS THIS TWEET from Wolf Conservation Center in NY, and it resonated so deeply for me-THIS is why we sing together, whether we are wolves or humans-to strengthen relationships and enjoy time together. https://twitter.com/nywolforg?s=21 GOING FROM: students will identify vocabulary in a song TO: Singing songs together strengthens our class community (Kid speech: singing songs is a fun way to spend time together) BECAUSE SINGING SONGS TOGETHER IS FUN! Using a song merely as vocabulary practice is kinda a killjoy, really. Sorry, not sorry. ANOTHER AREA TO FOCUS ON in terms of relevant, meaningful outcomes & goals is in moving away from ‘comprehension checks’ activities which don’t match the purpose of why we are sharing certain information with our students, in this case in the realm of social justice. So, for example, after reading a few simple facts about Rigoberta Menchú Tum’s life, instead of asking them questions related to what they’ve read, such as ‘Where is Rigoberta from?’ Or ‘What international prize did she win?’, I provide a prompt related to what I really want to get to-how Rigoberta might inspire my students to fight against injustice and for peace, justice, and equal rights for all. What might they do? What act could they put into practice? GOING FROM: Student demonstrates comprehension of written text TO: Reading social justice passages inspires me to reflect on, and take action, to make my community & world a better place. Kid speech: I can be an activist, and here's how I'm doing it. BECAUSE WE READ SOCIAL JUSTICE, HISTORY, & BIOGRAPHIES TO BE INSPIRED, NOT TO REGURGITATE FACTS ABOUT THE PERSON, PLACE OR EVENT. NOTE to above activity: While the reading is in the target language, the prompt and their answer is in English-strategically provided at the end of class (with just a few minutes left)-this allows me to read what they’ve written, engage with them via our online platform outside of class, then bring back a visual synopsis to next class which we can then talk about/react to. This helps me to stay more in the TL in class, while at the same time leveraging English to get to some deeper conversations. I would love to hear your thoughts, reactions, how you are writing your goals-put them in the comments below!
