Demonstrate understanding of a variety of extended written and/or visual German texts
You need to read and understand three extended German texts (written or visual) on topics like Viennese coffee culture, vegetarianism in different countries, and urban "superblocks" in Europe. You'll answer questions that ask you to explain ideas, make connections, and understand meanings that aren't directly stated in the texts.
You show general understanding of what the texts say, with correct details about some parts, but you miss connections between ideas and sometimes don't support your answers with evidence from the text.
You clearly explain most of what the texts mean using relevant details to back up your points, but you don't consistently interpret meanings that are suggested rather than directly stated.
You understand both the obvious and subtle meanings in the texts, you link complex ideas together and explain how they connect, and you justify every conclusion with specific supporting details from the passage.
