About The Teacher Label
About The Teacher
I am a German citizen who was born and raised in Germany and who has been living in the United States since May 1997. Growing up in a family of educators, I developed an interest in school-related matters at an early age. Throughout my schooling, I was fortunate to be taught by and to talk to a number of teachers who clearly enjoyed their job. They strengthened my belief that helping young people grow both intellectually and socially can be most rewarding. I finally decided to become a secondary teacher when I first discovered my love for foreign languages as a result of taking both English and French for several years. I graduated from the University of Kiel, Germany, in February 1997 with the State Examination Certificate for Secondary School Teachers which is equivalent to a BA in Secondary Education with teaching majors in English as a Second Language and French, plus a MA in English and French Literatures. After successfully completing the Single Subject Credential Program at UCI, I received my credential for teaching German in the summer of 2000. I am also qualified to teach introductory French and Freshman English classes and have been involved with the AVID program at La Habra High School. The 2008/2009 school year is my 9th year here at La Habra High School. I am teaching two sections of German 1, two sections of German 2, and a German 3/4 AP combination class. My extracurricular assignments include being in charge of the German Club at LHHS and sponsoring the German National Honor Society. My office hour for this school year is 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. You can always leave a message at (562)266-5252 or send me an e-mail at dpicciotta @fjuhsd.net. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Course Descriptions
German 1: This course is designed as a beginning class in German. Students will develop initial listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills with emphasis placed on enabling students to function in practical situations. Among other topics, they will learn how to talk about themselves, friends, families, interests, and daily activities. They will also learn about the culture and people of selected German/French speaking countries. German 2: This course reinforces and further develops listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills acquired in German 1. Continued emphasis will be placed on practical use of the language. Students will extend their ability to communicate about topics such as recreational activities, travel, food, school experiences, and family relationships. Students will further develop their appreciation of German speaking people and their cultures. German 3: This course builds upon skills learned in German 1 and 2. Emphasis is placed on conversational fluency in increasingly complex situations. Course work includes selected reading materials, short writing samples, oral presentations, and more challenging listening comprehension activities. These experiences develop linguistic confidence and also enhance the understanding of cultures of German speaking countries. German 4 AP, German 5: German 4 AP and German 5 students are expected to speak German in a variety of class situations. Stress is placed on development of oral fluency as well as complex listening, reading and writing skills to prepare them for the AP exam. They will review important grammar concepts and increase their vocabulary knowledge through the use of diverse and challening materials that are linguistically and culturally relevant.
