Communities Standards Exercises


Read the two exercises below, and then, in the Brainstorming Forum below, comment on how these exercises foster the comparison standards. If you don't want to brainstorm, go directly to the Hints, and then to the exercises for other standards.


Communities Standards Exercise:

Option A

     Pretend you are a German critic, and design a webpage that would inform the German public about a particular production of Draußen vor der Tür.


Communities Standards Exercise:

Option B

     Your school class is going to perform Draußen vor der Tür, in either English or German (specify which).  Design a webpage to advertise that performance to the large community of German-Americans who live in your city, town, or region -- that is, not necessarily to other students, but to people with German roots.


BRAINSTORMING

     Why do these exercises foster the communities standard, and what difficulties do you foresee in implementing them?
