Was ich von euch erwarte

Ein paar Worte zur Überzeugung:

I think it would be valuable and interesting to do a project on German (Austrian, Swiss) food because:• I really like sampling foods from different countries, and I

think some of my classmates do too.• all people need food to survive, which makes it as much a part

of culture as different architectures and clothing styles.• when you interact with other cultures, it is helpful to be

familiar with the traditions, practices, and etiquette of that culture. Food is often associated with traditions, practices, and etiquette of all human societies, so we can learn a lot about the German-speaking cultures and countries this way.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_K%C3%BCche Flem’s comment: a very broad resource, useful for finding out basics and

finding references and links to other, more “authentic sources”. http://www.goethe.de/ins/ie/prj/scl/ess/deindex.htm

Flem’s comment: also a very broad resource, but you know that www.goethe.de is the website of the institute that Frau Fleming has talked about, so you can make an educated guess that it is a reliable resource of its own account, as well offering many references and links to other sources.

http://www.dw.de/popups/pdf/445321/zum-nachlesen.pdf Flem’s comment: this is useful because not only does this describe an

aspect of a regional cuisine, but also is a transcription of an interview, a kind of conversation, which makes it a little more accessible to German learners.

http://www.yelp.de/biz/konnopkes-imbiss-berlin Flem’s comment: if you lived in Berlin, and you wanted to find a great

place to nosh on Currywurst, you might well go to www.yelp.de to find some good candidates. People are often quite creative when they write on Yelp, and they try to be funny or cool to get those votes, so that makes for entertaining reading. Also, there are a lot of short pieces of authentic, real-life writing in German, which is great for beginning and intermediate students of German.

Was Frau Fleming daraus macht:

Relevance:

Many Americans are beginning to look closely at our food production (industry, supply), often questioning our current practices.

When we question currently accepted norms (habits, practices), it is helpful to examine those of other communities.

When we use the best and discard the rest, we improve conditions.

Those of us who speak languages and understand the cultures of other communities can make important contributions to the strength and stability our own community, and the exchange of ideas creates strength and stability between communities.
