Das Geschenke from Anekdoten und Erzählungen, a graded German reader

----


I did this last week by using an online newspaper. I projected the front page of the Sueddeutsche and had students identify examples. The students were really focused and even my weaker students were able to point out the "des"-es. They have also been noticing when I used it in class this week. So something sunk in!
