Prior Knowledge and NEW Instructional Content
Prior Knowledge
Students know how to construct sentences in the present, future and past (present perfect, past
perfect) tenses. They were introduced to coordinating conjunctions in the previous lesson.
Anticipatory Set
The anticipatory set will act as a review of coordinating conjunctions. Students will first write
the answers in their notebooks and then volunteer to come fill in the blanks on the Smartboard.
Fill in the blanks will the correct conjunction. Write out the sentences in your
notebooks.

Lesson Development
I will transition to the lesson by asking students to take out their conjunctions charts and think
back to last class.
We just reviewed the meaning of each coordinating conjunction, but what are some other things
we said about them? What do coordinating conjunctions do? (Link two or more independent
clauses) What happens to word order when using a coordinating conjunction? (Nothing, it stays
the same in both clauses) These two points are unique to coordinating conjunctions and it is
important to remember them. Today we are going to work with subordinating conjunctions,
which function differently but serve a similar purpose grammatically.
What do you already know about subordinating conjunctions in English? (They connect ideas,
main clause and dependent clause)
What are some examples of subordinating conjunctions in English? (after, if, before, because,
whenever, while, that, etc.)
I will ask the students to identify the main clause, dependent clause and subordinating
conjunction in the 2 English sentences on the board. I will mark the sentences based on what the
students tell me.
I didn’t go for a walk today because it was raining.
Before I take the test, I have to study vocabulary.
In German subordinating conjunctions are also used to link a main clause and a dependent
clause. They are used to express when, why, how or under what conditions the activity in the
main clause is taking place.

University of Richmond Lesson Plan Outline
I will show the students a chart of subordinating conjunctions on the board and have them fill in
the translations (Übersetzung) for each conjunction on their conjunctions charts. Once they
have the translations written down, I will talk to them about wenn and als and have them write
down the special notes (Kommentar).
Als is used to describe one-time past events or situations. For example, if you were
talking about your childhood or something in History class.
Wenn is used to describe recurring events (past or present) or events that have yet to take
place. For example, if you were to talk about whenever you go somewhere or when you
finally graduate.
Next we will look at some example sentences that contain subordinating conjunctions and talk
about word order.
What do you notice about the sentences on the board? Do you notice anything unusual
about the word order? If so, what?
When you use a subordinating conjunction in German, the word order of the dependent clause
changes. Where does the conjugated verb usually go in a German sentence? (second position or
first position for yes/no questions) The conjugated verb in a dependent clause, which in this
case is following a subordinating conjunction, always goes at the end of the clause.
For each sentence, I will ask the students to identify the main clause subject and verb(s),
the subordinating conjunction and the verbs in the dependent clause while I mark them
on the board. Students will also be asked to translate each sentence to show how the
conjunction is being used.
After diagramming sentences, I will have the students practice writing some. I will show them 5
pairs of sentences on the board, which they will connect using the conjunctions indicated.
Students will first write the sentences in their notebooks and then I will have 5 volunteers come
to the board to write them out. As a class we will discuss the word order and meaning of each
sentence.
1. Frau Enderle hatte in Berlin gewohnt, bis sie nach Wartburg gekommen ist.
2. Ich konnte ihm nicht folgen, weil er so schnell gelaufen ist.
3. Während sie in England studiert hat, hat sie Englisch gesprochen.
4. Sie war schon da, als ich angekommen bin.
5. Wenn es viel Arbeit gibt, helfen wir alle mit.
Next I will have the students translate 6 sentences from English into German with a partner. I
will have them first write out the sentences in their notebooks and then I will choose 6 people
who did not volunteer before to write their sentences on the board. As a class we will discuss
the word order and translations for each sentence.
1. I didn’t clean my room because I didn’t have time.
Ich habe mein Zimmer nicht aufgeräumt, weil ich keine Zeit hatte.
2. Every day when the weather was nice, we went for a hike in the mountains.
Jeden Tag, wenn das Wetter schön war, sind wir in den Bergen gewandert.
3. We didn’t know if you all wanted to come along.
Wir haben nicht gewusst, ob ihr mitkommen wollten.
4. Because he didn’t want to take the bus, he bought a car.
6
University of Richmond Lesson Plan Outline
Weil er nicht mit dem Bus fahren wollten, hat er ein Auto gekauft.
5. I thought that you were interested in the movie.
Ich habe gedacht, dass du dich für den Film interessiert hast.
6. When I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor.
Als ich Kind war, wollte ich ein/e Artzt/Ärtztin sein.
I will then have the students write their own sentences using any of the subordinating
conjunctions on their charts. Each student will write 3 original sentences. Once the sentences
are written, I will have the students find a partner. They will trade papers with their partners and
review each other’s sentences. They will talk about and make any corrections that may be
necessary. Each student will choose his/her best sentence to share with the class orally. If there
are still incorrect sentences after the partner corrections, I will choose a couple of them to write
on the board and correct as a class.
Once we have reviewed one sentence from each student, I will explain the homework
assignment. Each student is going to brainstorm ideas and pick a topic for an essay that will be
due at a later date.
Prompt:
You have won an all-expense paid trip for 2 to anywhere in the world. Where are you
going, who are you bringing along, what will you do while you’re there and why did
you make those decisions.
Students will bring with them to the next class: where they are going, who they are bringing
along and 2-3 things they plan do to on their trip.
Closure
Each student will complete the first 3 questions on a conjunctions worksheet. I will hand it out
as soon as we are done talking about the homework assignment. We will go over the first 3
sentences as a class, with 3 students (who have not yet had a chance) writing them on the board.
I will ask the students to give translations and make any necessary corrections. The rest of the
worksheet will be assigned as homework for extra practice with the material.
I will collect this assignment at the beginning of the next class to see how well the students
understand the usage of conjunctions.
