Goals of the ClassTalk around a topic in which the schoolers have experience and are confident. To practice arguing with examples and communicating with confidence. Weighing positive and negative aspects and skills and then drawing conclusions.
Warm UpGerman Game: I showed the students a picture and they had to find terms related to the picture or the thing. You only have 5 seconds to think of a word. In the garden, in the supermarket, at school, in the roof,….
Activity 1What do you think of when you hear the word superhero? German superhero?American superhero? – Captain America (What are his superpowers?)Who is your favorite superhero?Batman, Superman, Spider Man, Captain America, Wolverine,…… Why is he your favorite superhero? What features does he have ?

Activity 3Scenario: The world is under attack and you have to assemble a team of superheroes.Which 5 superheroes would you choose?Why these 5? Who is your favorite villain?What qualities do you like about him? Which ones don’t you like? Which villain, do you dislike? Why?
What worked well in this class? What did not work (and how could it be improved)? The students had a lot of fun with this topic and really spoke remarkably. I hardly had to follow up and discussions quickly ensued. It is sometimes advantageous to talk about topics in which the students have great interest and in which they are confident (and have experience). Through my questions I was able to lead the lesson very well and not lose the framework. This helps a lot, because often the students only talk about one topic and get stuck there. I would repeat this lesson depending on the group. Dennis there are also students who are not so sure in this topic and do not know. If you have a fitting class it is definitely recommended.
