Kompetenzerweiterung III, Homework for Week 7

Our next class meetings will be:
Monday group: December 4th, 8:10-9:40 (note the change in time)
Tuesday group: December 5th 11:30-13:00

On the exam, you will be:
-providing me with two short argumentative essays, one which is a response to a given question and the other which involves picking a pre-determined stance from a set of four different options.
-doing fronting and emphasizing transformations, which can be practiced here:

-translating quotes to reported speech, which can be practiced here:

-transforming sentences using conditional trigger words, which can be practiced here:

-combining sentences using participle clauses, which can be practiced here:

The latter two grammar points will be elaborated upon in our class sessions in December.

If you haven't submitted any written assignments yet this semester (outside of the in-class essay), I encourage you to work on one during the Projektwoche. It can be on any debate topic of your choice.

For my Monday class: here's the letter from Luz Long to Jesse Owens I mentioned in class:
