| Ein bi�chen Kultur! Our mission is to bridge the gap between Germany and America. We will invade the culture, landscape and traditions of the German speaking culture. As we dive deep into encyclopedias, Internet, music and video, we will explore what make those Germans tick. We will forego the dreaded daily intro and instead EDUCATE each other about the land and people of the language that we are learning! You will pick a city or person in/from Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein or (German speaking) Switzerland and research it/him/her with a partner. You will then report to the class your findings. Your report you should include the following: If it is a City or locale: � Location (which state) � Population � Major industry � Surrounding landscape � Traditional events in the city (Minimum 2) � Interesting sites to see in the area (Minimum 5) � Pictures of the city or sites around it.
