Choose any two of the following activities to complete. They must be turned in by the end of class.

Keep in mind that I have used this choice board for all four levels of German – you have the same
guidelines, but my expectations for the product you produce are much different. If you’re in AP, don’t
turn in something that a student in German 1 could produce. And if you’re in German 1, don’t turn in
something you could have done during the first week of school.
