Media today 118

Reading: Bruno Blume, Der gestiefelte Kater. Nach Ludwig Tieck, 35-40 (end); Nina Weger, Die sagenhafte Saubande: Polly in Not, ch. 10; Wieso, Weshalb, Warum, Wir entdecken die Farben, 5-6. 

Listening: Dimiter Inkiow, Griechische Sagen16:00 - 36:00; Ich weiß was, Albert E. erklärt die Werbung, 9:30 - 18:30. 

Viewing: Let's play Minecraft, Episode #016, #017, #018, #019, #020 (70 min.); Sendung mit der Maus: Sachgeschichten, "Polizei, Fingerabdrücke" (9 min.).


J really enjoyed and seemed especially interested in the theatrical aspect of the Tieck story. In a fortuitous way, both today's reading from Weger story and the Greek myths (Zeus's escapades) dealt with monogamy, loyalty and jealousy, such that the relevant vocabulary was very nicely reinforced. Fingerprints and detective work also plays a role in the Weger story, so we found a really excellent video Sachgeschichte on that. 

Today's section from the audiobook centered around a schoolyard drama where the fashionable and thus cool kids are calling other kids losers because of their clothing. It's pretty heavy handed, but the way the situation is resolved, then unpacked and analysed is great.
