Teacher Notes
This could be used to introduce basic adjectives (colour, type, style) paired with clothing vocabulary.
Grammar learning points could include a focus on indefinite articles, adjective and noun word order (useful for dual linguists where word order patterns may differ in other languages) and the changes to adjective endings depending on the gender and number of the noun being described.
Students could also examine the difference in adjective endings when using the definite versus indefinite articles.
Curriculum Notes
This clip is suitable for teaching German at Key Stage 2 and 3, or Third Level, 4th Level, National 5 and Higher.
