Instructional Ideas

• After corresponding as pen pals for a while, or creating their intercultural projects, invite learners to come up with their own ideas for inserting more German culture into the classroom

Classroom Considerations

• Note that the links to programs and other resources won't allow you to click them; copy and paste the link into your browser to view these other sites
• The resource does mention Australia (since it was created there), but the projects do not depend on learners being from Australia, and students will not see these pages

Pros

• Provides a chart of topic ideas and some related questions on the group project assignment page
• Lists several different ideas for ways to add some authentic cultural learning into your German language class

Cons

• None
