Grammar Poems
This was an idea to get the students thinking about nouns, verbs and adjectives. I also thought it would give them a sense of achievement to write a poem in German. The first step was to write a poem myself that they could adapt. I came up with this:
Ein Substantiv ist eine Sache/ein Ding
wie …, … oder ….
Ein Verb ist etwas, das wir machen
wie …, … oder ….
mit Adjektiven beschreibe ich
wie …, … oder ….
The students had to complete the poem so that it rhymed. A challenge was to find words with appropriate numbers of syllables. There was a real sense of achievement by the end!
