 * [|MTV liebt Günther]** - This is just a cute little commercial I showed my seniors during our unit on Vorurteile (prejudices etc). We did a brainstorm of what Americans think of Germans, then watched the video. We had a good laugh and discussed what "stimmt" (was true) and what "stimmt nicht" (was untrue/exaggerated). Afterwards, they had to come up with ideas for a similar commercial where the son tells his parents that "I'm American!" user:knappla1


 * [|Nazi Art as Propaganda]** - Useful list of online resources for a teacher wanting to explore this topic. user:chericem1


 * [|Surviving Dachau: Liberating Mauthausen]** - Extensive list of resources that could be used as the basis for a unit on concentration camps or the Holocaust user:chericem1


 * [|Step Into German] -** **Music** - I found this website on the AATG site, it has a lot of information on using German Music in the classroom. It's a "Musical Tour" through Germany - there are music video clips posted, as well as pictures and a lot of information about popular groups there today. I haven't had a chance to look through it completely, but there is some good material to explore! user:knappla1

[|Flat Stanley Project] Students can create their own Flat Stanley and send them to Germany, where students in Germany can then show the Flat Stanleys around, take pictures, and write a daily journal (in the TL, of course).
