| Title | German Project Idea |
| Body | An AATG listserv user contributed the following virtual project idea: I think this project has enormous potential at all teaching levels. As of now, my first year students have created portfolios which include the following: 1. A laminated student ID. I used a digital camera to photograph them, and then had them write their German names and "semi-authentic" Munich addresses. 2. We used mrlodge.de to find furnished apartments all over Munich. Maps and photos of each apartment are provided by the site. The students had to label the rooms in German and print out photos of the rooms. 3. I posted the Munich S Bahn and U Bahn map on Blackboard. They are learning how to get from "their apartments" to places of interest in Munich. 4. I went on the Web and found a centrally located Gymnasium which posts the daily lunch menu. Many of the offerings are Bavarian, but we used Google Image to find pictures of everything they hadn't heard of. 5. I posted the link to the Munich telephone book and they have used it plus Google to figure out their Postleitzahl and then locate neighborhood stores and theaters. Some of the pastry shops and butcher shops have great web sites! They also created telephone numbers. Parks, R. [AATG-L] Fantastic class project with enormous potential at all levels!
