Classroom resources - German

The Professional Development Officers at SCILT have developed German reading materials for use with the new Higher. The German resources tie in with the context of Culture: Other countries - Stereotypes.

Looking for a way to incorporate the literature of another country into the new Higher syllabus and develop literacy skills among your learners? Here is an approach taken by one teacher which links Erlkönig with Rammstein and develops learners literacy skills at the same time.

These reading and writing materials materials have been developed by the Modern Languages Department at Greenwood Academy and are suitable for S5/6 pupils. They tie in with the suggested topics for new Higher under the theme of 'Culture: Literature of another country – analysis and evaluation'. They could also be used in conjunction with the English department.
