Languages

At the time of writing the Languages KLA at Mooroolbark College is in the process of finalising assessments for reporting. For example, in Year 8, German students are submitting their ‘My ideal school uniform’ Poster CAT. An early high-quality example is this one by Leah De Vincentis of 8C:

Apart from this, we are focusing on engaging our language learners for the rest of the year with a strong focus on cultural festivals such as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, German Geography and Traditions as well as the history of the divided Germany and the Berlin Wall.

In the last installment of the Newsletter, some images of our high achievers were not included due to an issue beyond our control, so here we have a reminder of the previous article and the images that were left out:

The students of German at Mooroolbark College have really impressed their teachers with the way they have embraced learning German online. Thanks to technology, the students are able to listen to relevant audio files of the new work and they have been able to submit audio files back to us of themselves in an interview situation. This was no mean feat! The Year 7s did an interview about a fictitious missing pet and the Year 8s answered questions in an interview about their school subjects and their timetables. A couple of the outstanding pieces of work by Year 7 students, Aleisha Torriero and Michael Gore are below. Their posters were first seen on the school’s Facebook page.

Our teachers remain committed to helping students achieve the best grades possible and want to remind all concerned that if a CAT is showing up as not yet submitted, that we will only be too happy to assist any students who asks for help and we strongly encourage these students to come and see us.
