Vorwort und Hinweise

Vorwort und Hinweise

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

in der 9. und 10. Klasse nimmt das Schreiben von Texten im Englischunterricht einen immer größeren Raum ein. Häufig lernen und üben die Schülerinnen und Schüler nun vor allem das Schreiben von geforderten Textsorten wie „summary“, „formal letter“ oder „argumentative text“. Eine zunehmend wichtigere Rolle spielen auch Texte, wie wir sie im Internet finden (E-Mails/Beiträge in Foren etc.).

Der Bereich, der Schülern aber häufig den größten Spaß macht und bei dem sie – meiner Überzeugung nach – am effektivsten Englisch lernen, ist das Schreiben von kreativen Texten wie Geschichten und Gedichten. Wenn ein Schü-ler z. B. eine Vokabel nachschlägt, die er für seine eigene Geschichte benötigt, bleibt diese dauerhafter hängen als ein Wort, das er „nur“ für den nächsten Vokabeltest paukt.

In diesem Heft möchte ich Ihnen Schreibanlässe, Übungen und Hilfen zur Planung und Überarbeitung von unter-schiedlichen Texten anbieten, die Sie als sinnvolle Ergänzung oder willkommene Abwechslung zu Ihrem Lehrwerk nutzen können. Das Heft ist in fünf Bereiche unterteilt: Der erste Teil „Special types of texts“ enthält visuelle Planungshilfen, Übungen, Schreibanlässe und Vokabellisten für die wichtigen Textsorten „argumentative text“, „summary“, „essay on character“, „formal letter“ sowie „internet commentary“.

Im zweiten Teil des Heftes „Creative writing“ finden Sie vielfältige Schreibaufgaben mit unterschiedlichem Schwierigkeitsgrad. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler können sich hier von unterschiedlichen „writing prompts“ zum Schreiben von Texten inspirieren lassen. Freuen Sie sich auf kreative Geschichten und bisher unentdeckte Talente!

Im dritten Teil des Heftes – „Writing skills practice“ genannt – finden Sie dann zahlreiche Übungen, die Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern helfen werden, Sicherheit beim Formulieren von komplexen Sätzen zu gewinnen und ein besseres Sprachgefühl zu entwickeln.

Im vierten Teil „Spelling and proofreading” finden Sie schließlich Tipps und Übungen zum Überarbeiten von Texten.

Die „Evaluation sheets“, die Sie am Ende des Heftes finden, sollen Ihnen bei der Beurteilung der englischen Schülertexte die Arbeit erleichtern. Die Bogen zeigen transparent, wie eine Note zustande gekommen ist und sind zugleich eine Rückmeldung für den Schüler/die Schülerin, woran er/sie noch arbeiten muss. Die meisten Bewertungs-bogen gibt es in zwei Varianten: Einer ist exemplarisch ausgefüllt, während Sie den zweiten Blankobogen (master copy) kopieren und sofort nutzen können.

Hier noch einige weitere Hinweise:

• Dieses Heft ist für die Doppelklassenstufe 9/10 konzipiert. Sie kennen Ihre Schülerinnen und Schüler gut und können mit Sicherheit selbst am besten beurteilen, wann welche Aufgabe im Unterricht angeraten ist.

• In diesem Heft wird überwiegend British English (BE) verwendet. • Die meisten der im Heft enthaltenen Aufgaben sind so konzipiert, dass sie freie Antworten „provozieren“. Die Lösungen zu den Aufgaben, bei denen eindeutige Lösungen angegeben werden können, finden Sie ab S. 54.

Und nun wünsche ich Ihnen und Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern viel Freude, Spaß und nachhaltigen Lernerfolg beim Einsatz dieser Materialien im Unterricht!

• Give a personal statement.and/or

• Call for action: What do you want your readers to do about it?

Special types of texts

How to support your argument

There are three ways to support an argument:

• facts and data

• an expert’s opinion

• examples

Example: Argument: The death penalty doesn’t prevent murder.

Supporting fact: The murder rate1 in the U.S. is six times that of Britain.

Supporting expert’s

opinion:

“Statistics demonstrate that states without the death penalty have consistently lower

murder rates than states with it.” H. Lee Sarokin, U.S. Judge2

Supporting example: All convicted3 murderers in the U.S. knew that they could face the death penalty. That did

not keep them from murdering their victims.

1. Match the facts, quotes and examples from below with the right argument.

Argument: Executions cost more than a life in prison.

Supporting fact: The death penalty trial process is …

Supporting expert’s

opinion:

Supporting example:

Argument: The innocent4 may be wrongly executed.

Supporting fact:

Supporting expert’s

opinion:

Supporting example:

a) “It’s 10 times more expensive to kill them [murderers] than to keep them alive,” Donald McCartin, U.S. Judge.

b) In Illinois, in 2000 alone, 13 people were freed from death row due to new DNA testing techniques and recanted

testimony 5.

c) The death penalty trial process is more complicated because a life is on the line. More lawyers, more witnesses6,

more experts, etc., sum up to high costs.

d) Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in February 2004 for the murders of his three young children by starting a

fire at their family home in Texas. In 2009 experts reviewed the case and found that Willingham was innocent.

e) Watt Espy, who has done intensive research on American executions, says that he has “every reason to believe“ that

10 innocent men have been executed in Alabama alone.

f) In California, a 2011 study showed that death penalty cases are 20 times more expensive than other cases. The state

has spent over $4 billion on death penalty cases since 1978.

2. Find a supporting fact, expert’s opinion or example for the following argument:

Nobody has the right to take another’s life, not even the state.

1 murder rates – Mordraten (Morde pro Einwohner)2 judge – Richter3 convicted – verurteilt

4 the innocent – Unschuldige5 recanted testimony – zurückgezogene Zeugenaussagen6 witness – Zeuge

a network like this. It’s called “sociogram”.

Dear diary,

I still can’t beleive what happened yesterday. I found HIM and than I lost HIM again. It was love at first

sight – I know I used to say that this whole love-at-first-sight-stuff is just a Hollywood invention, but that

was befor I saw HIM.

R R

I was queuing in the line at Starbuck’s and the girl behind the counter asks for my name – you know they

always wants to know your name to write it onto the paper cups and then they call you as soon as your

coffee is ready. Anyway I never give my real name, i mean, why shoult I? So this time I have come up

with “Gertrude-Octavia” and enjoyed the look on her face when she was writing that onto the cup.

I found a place at the window, and sit down to check my text messages when I saw HIM. He was sitting

at the tabel next to me and he looked awesome. The brightest blue eyes you can imagine BBB. He

was talking to a very pretty girl and didn’t noticed me. They diden’t look like a couple though, because

she had exactly the same eyes and hair and was about tree years older, so I thought she meight be his

sister. Well, I knew I must talk to him or I would regrett it for the rest of my live.

Then i saw that the girl he was talking to had ecsactly the bag I had been looking for for ages and I go

over and ask her: “Hi, sorry to interrupt but may I ask you who you bought this great bag?” Well, she

was quite nice and told me that it was a birthday present and that her boyfreind got it for her. So I

turned to HIM and smiled and sayed: “Wow you have a great taste – that’s something spezial.” And

then he of course told me that she was his sister (no surprise here) but that I was right anyway, he had a

grate taste and then he looked deep into my eyes and smiled. He flirting with me!!!

And then I heard someone crying behind me: “Gertrude-Octavia? A Caramel Macchiato for Gertrude-

Octavia?” What was I supposed to do? I didn’t want him to think my name was Gertrude-Octavia! So I

tryed to ignore the voice and kept smiling at HIM. And then he said me that he knew where the back

was from and that he can show me the shop and that it was right around the corner. And all the time I

heard this girl shouting “Gertrude-Octavia?” and people started to laugh.

And than she showed up behind me and tapped me on my shoulder. “Gertrude-Octavia? Your coffee,

you’re welcome.” “Thats not me”, I repleid. “But I know that you ordered this Caramel Macchiato.”

I tried to ignore her and kept smiling at HIM. “That’s right” his stupit sister said. “I saw you taking the

order.”

And then I lost it. I yelled at the girl: “I am not Gertrude-Octavia!” and I yelled to his sister:

“And this is none of your business!” and when I turned to HIM again I saw in his face that I had not made

the best impression on him. So I have turned to the Starbucks girl again and have grabbed my coffee

and said: “Thank you anyway,” and tried to smile at her but it was to late … He and his sister take their

jackets and got up. “Well, uhm …, it was uhm … nice to have met you, Gertrude-Octavia,” he said and

then he was gone.
