Media today 13

Reading: Brandon Justiz, Monster und mythische Kreaturen: Altes Griechenland



This is a great little read (and cheap!), designed for tablet, with delightful quirky pictures and nice short physical descriptions of the monsters. Excellent practice of the dative and genitive case, including with weak nouns, for example Der Greif hat den Körper eines Löwen und Flügel und Gesicht eines Adlers.


When J noticed one evening that some of the snakes have different expressions, I asked him how he thought each of them was feeling about being in Medusa's head helping turn folks to stone. We proceeded to ask them, one by one, and they gave various answers, most infamous of course, but a few conscience-stricken. Now we go through this each time and J does most of the voices. So it's not such a short read anymore!


Listening: Otfried Preußler, Der kleine Wassermann (1:02-1:06); Brothers Grimm, "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten." See my other post on this today.

Viewing: Die furchtlosen Vier (c. 0:00-60:00)
