Students are encouraged to express their thoughts competently in letters, poetry, and in compositions of greater length. Through an examination of art, politics, literature, and music, the student will be encouraged to see the world from the German point of view.   Honors German 4 will move at a faster pace and go into more depth than German 4.  [*TPRS=Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling.]
