A resource booklet for students and a supporting booklet for teachers.

The resource provides some initial questions and vocabulary in German to describe various elements of cultural practices or events. Cultural products are identified as part of the analysis. A cultural product includes the language used e.g. a special greeting. It is not an exhaustive list, and not all questions will apply to all practices or events. More details can and should be investigated.

There are also three differentiated examples of how the booklet can support students to begin an analysis of an event. The examples relate to an annual public festival in Hamburg, the ‘Hafengeburtstag’.

The appendix for students and teachers provides additional information and links, and the teachers version had curriculum links to the VCE and first Victorian Curriculum.
