=Weihnachten in Deutschland! = =Mein Tagebuch =

===Imagine you are in Germany as an exchange student. You are staying with a German family and are experiencing the Christmas season in Germany for the first time. You decide to keep a diary about your experiences and include pictures and a vocabulary list to help improve your German. Each journal entry should be at least 120 words long. By the end you should also have a vocab list of at least 15 words! ===
 * =====**Entry one -** Include information about when Christmas season begins, Advent traditions and what you notice is different about the Christmas season in Australia. Include pictures. =====

You need to send Christmas cards to family and friends. Click on this link:
Weihnachtskarten You hear Christmas carols being sung in German. Click on this link: Weihnachtslieder!
 * =====**Entry two -** It is Nikolaus Tag! Write about what happens on this day and who St Nikolausis/was, and what about Krampus? Draw or insert a picture of what he looks like. Also include a copy of the poem you learnt for the day. You have to record or video yourself reciting the poem and upload this onto your page. =====
 * =====**Entry three** You have noticed that a real Christmas tree has been put up in the market place in the town centre and yet the family has not put one up. So you decide to ask about this too. Write about what you find out about the history of the Christmas Tree and the traditions associated with it in Germany. Include pictures. =====

So, where do I get the information from? You can get your information by clicking on the tabs in the contents column, clicking on the links in the text above (e.g. Advent, Sankt Nikolaus) or by researching on the internet.
 * =====**Entry four -** Write about your experiences on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. How was it different to how you celebrate at home? =====
