My Skills Of Writing In German

596 Words3 Pages

My skills of writing in german have improved over the course of my years. The project of writing a fairy tale shows great expansion of my skills. From German II, I wrote a paragraph about the holiday Sechseläutenfete and my skills were lacking. In my story, I have the vocabulary like “Plötzlich” and genitive like “die Liebe einer Mutter” while in my paragraph the most advance word is “verbrennen”. Also, the writing from the midterm to the story shows growth. At the time of the midterm, I did not know simple past and in the story, there were only simple past sentences. However, the skills gained previously to the midterm appeared in my fairy tale. I am super proud of my story because within it has multiple different types of sentences and vocabulary, unlike my other two pieces of writing. I elaborated on my sentences in the story, unlike the paragraph in German II where it jumped around and none of the sentences flowed together. Something I wish was different about my fairy tale is I’ve learned more complex sentences since the completion of the story. …show more content…

In German II, we were mostly reading graphs and at the end of German III, I can read entire stories and semi-comprehend what is happening. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is completely different than looking at a graph with few words upon it and some stats. With an expanded vocabulary, I am able to understand words that look similar and infer what the main idea or theme is behind it. At the beginning of German III, we look at ads for german places. This skill is useful in life because it can allow someone to read german and gain information about said sign or ad. To expand my learning as a german student I can seek out more information written in german. I can also look at blogs or magazines to expand my reading capabilities. Reading has improved over the course of 2 years from barely understanding words to understanding entire stories and digging

When William Cronon, a renowned environmental historian, penned Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England, he wanted to bring awareness to the ecological effects of the European’s arrival to New England. Many history books focus exclusively on the people, towns, governments, religions, and so on in pre-Colonial New England; however, the thesis of Cronon’s book, which was originally published in 1983, was to show that we can analyze what changes happened to the plants and animals of New England as the settlers gained power and supremacy over the area once occupied by none other than the Native Americans. As stated in the beginning of the book, “the shift from Indian to European dominance in New England entailed important changes—well known to historians—in the ways these
