3rd year #WatertownWay German students watched a video of Hansel & Gretel in German and learned how a phrase from a fairy tale worked its way into the cultural background knowledge of gingerbread houses in Germany. They then read an article using this language as it gave advice on how to build gingerbread houses. Finally, they built their own! There were some construction accidents, but everyone persevered and got their house built!
