About the Unit
Aktivität 93: Supermarkt? Metzgerei? Bäckerei
Students have quite a bit of freedom in this exercise since almost all of the items can be bought in a Supermarkt. However, this exercise is useful for showing that there are specialty stores for specific food items that exist within grocery stores but also separately. Particularly, Bäckereien are frequented often and many people prefer to buy their bread and pastry there instead of in the grocery store. Many Supermärkte have Bäckereien within the same building offering bread in a variety of locations: prepackaged in the bread aisle, fresh from a shelf in the bread aisle, and from the Bäckerei that is beyond the registers in the same building. You can also note that Bäckereien often open on Sundays, some are closed on one day during the week, and Germans often get the Sunday morning bread rolls at Bäckereien. We will talk more about bread in Einheit 35.
Aktivität 94: Ahmed kauft ein
Before listening: ask students whether they know what Bolognese sauce is and which ingredients it has. You can also review in what way or what units you buy each of the listed items (g vs. l vs. a package).
Play the audio at least twice and tell students to first concentrate on the ingredients and units and the second time on what Ahmed says.
Aktivität 95: Einkaufslisten schreiben
Pay attention to time here. You will want to have enough time for the role play so if you don't have as much time or if you anticipate that students will take a long time to find three recipes, you can shorten this exercise by putting groups in charge of different courses so that one group comes up with a starter, one with a main dish and one with a dessert. You can also give them some ideas of what they could cook so that the students don't spend most of the time agreeing on the recipe.
Aktivität 96: Einkaufen: Rollenspiel
If students worked in groups on different courses, ask the group(s) that came up with starters to be clerks in the first round and the group(s) with desserts are clerks in the second round.
Read through the phrases together before playing but then encourage free conversations as much as possible.
