Practising introducing oneself and others.

This activity uses the same introductory whiteboard slides as L203Unit1Act1a (to familiarize students with Elluminate) but additionally includes some PowerPoints to trigger conversations about German-speaking countries. It is aimed at groups who have already met face-to-face and don't need another tutorial introducing themselves.

This map can be used for an ice breaker activity, in which students are asked to name and talk briefly about places in German-speaking countries which they know. Describing the landscape of their chosen place leads into Th. 1, Teil 1.
