Do not forget!

Happy New Year 2008 to all of you! What a year: "Schulaufgabe" - "Facharbeit" - final exams ("Abitur")!

Just a reminder: for "Schulaufgabe" you must be prepared (1) to answer questions on the text, (2) to translate the passage from an English original text into proper German, and to answer (3) an overall questions!
(1) Topics are South Africa - AIDS/HIV (Have a close look at 1st challenge and fulfill assignments there!). You must prove your background knowledge (one or two questions will refer to that).
(2) Quite obvious ..., isn't it?
(3) Remember, this overall question (task to write about something) will require preparation. You must know about South Africa & AIDS/HIV + Nkosi Johnson (1st challenge) and, of course, accumulate at least some knowledge about 2nd and 3rd challenge. This is something you can prepare, so it is up to you to gain credits in this field (about 20 cr.).
Do not forget abot working on "Facharbeit". One aspect of getting full credits for it is to meet prerequisites your teacher puts up for you (deadline, showing him your progress, asking him questions, prove that you worked on your "Facharbeit" regularly and continuously). However, I do not see any problems for most of you, although a few people do not stick to these rules ... :-(
You still have the chance of presenting your ideas to the class in order to get helpful feedback (remember , for instance, Kathrin, Dennis, and Tanja). Till Friday, January 18, 2008, you have the opportunity to present a table of content and ask the othere questions in class!
Final exams ... no let's not talk about them today ...
Best,
TJK
