12 German Sub Plans ~ Sub Pac Set 1

"My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English

(barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German

in thirty years. It seems manifest, then, that the latter tongue ought to be

trimmed down and repaired."

Mark Twain

(American humorist ~ 1835 - 1910)

Twelve ready-to-use lesson plans for the sub who does * n-o-t * know German.

Feeling overwhelmed sometimes ?

Too many preps ?

Stacks of papers to grade ?

Yet another meeting to go to ?

This resource will save you precious time because everything is ready-to-use.

These substitute lesson plans provide an informative lesson for your class through exposure to the various aspects of the language, culture, history and geography of the German-speaking countries.

Please note that some plans require using reference books in the school library or online resources.

The plans are suitable for any level. I always had so many

preps that, to simplify things for the sub and to simply save time, I had

all my classes do the same plan in my absence.

It worked remarkably well.

Some plans also have Minitests for meaningful follow-up.

You get:

One teacher said:

"I can tell that your ideas come from your experiences and really are sensible, fun and slide with ease into whatever text. I've been teaching for 27 years and have tried many approaches. Yours are the first materials that my students request by name - Sub*Pacs. I just wish I had more of them!"
