Teacher Reports: Fritz REALLY Works for First-Year German Students (and Beyond)!

 

"I am just finishing reading Fritz Abenteuer in Amerika as a review with my high school German 1 students. I have NEVER in my 12 years of teaching had a group of students so excited about reading in German.They are begging for a sequel! They want more books just like this. I try to read a fair amount with my upper levels, but this reader convinces me that even the lowest level can be motivated to read an entire book without any fear. I cannot express in words how this book re-energized my class (and it is the middle of May!) 

I used the Fritz reader in two classes. In German 1 we read the book as group, out loud. I read, they read, they read to each other...  It took us about a week, but the students were so motivated—like I had rarely seen them during the year. My goal in reading the book was to review all of the vocabulary we had learned; they were guaranteed success with fairly little effort.  One student even pointed out that the chapters seemed to go in the exact order that we learned the vocabulary, completely by coincidence!  

In German 3 we read the book in one-and-a-halfdays, quickly reading everything out loud, and the students quickly answering every question after every chapter. In German 3, Fritz was primarily used as a time-filler and to remind the students just how much they really did know (following numerous challenging units of grammar and vocabulary). They loved it as much as the German 1 students! I also had the students write their own sequel as a fun writing project."

Great for year 1!

Jan 21, 2016  |  By Melissa

I read this book with my students in the spring. It fits so well with the material that is covered in the first year and starts simple with each chapter slowly getting longer and more challenging. I also used it as an opportunity to encourage the students to practice speaking by reading aloud, and the students were enthusiastic. The questions at the end of each chapter do a great job of checking how much the students understood and making sure they get the main points. They were excited when they finished the book, feeling accomplished that they could read a whole book - a chapter book - in German, and showing themselves just how much they had learned in just a few months. And when it ended with a cliffhanger, they were asking for book 2 and annoyed they had to wait until next year!
