      Introduction

      This book was written by a secondary and a primary school teacher to provide information about festivals and traditions in Germany.

      Every month has ideas that support the intercultural strand of the Framework for Modern Foreign Languages. According to the Framework by the end of Year 6, most children should be able to:

      Demonstrate an understanding of and respect for cultural diversity

      Present information about an aspect of another country.

      The ideas in this book can be used to develop discussions about comparisons. The Framework suggests comparing attitudes towards aspects of everyday life (IU6.1) and understanding differences between people (IU6.2).

      It then suggests children present information about an aspect of culture through a wide variety of media. By regularly using ideas from this book you are providing your pupils with a wealth of ideas.

      Each month has a choice of guided sheets. There is also a variety of suggested teaching activities, with vocabulary provided. Extension ideas are provided for more able pupils.

      Running a German Day (see Planning a German Day for your School) will complement your intercultural teaching and provide children with many opportunities to achieve a high standard in this area of German. The German vocabulary provided will support and reinforce your language work alongside this.

      There are two analysis grids that show how and where the book covers the intercultural strand. The first is split into year groups and shows where you can find work to cover the objectives for your own year group. The second grid looks at each strand and shows where it is covered in the book. This will be extremely useful for MFL co-ordinators.
