E10 M - I can write – English 10

Mini-Beschreibung: Verfasse strukturierte emails, reports, articles, opinion texts, applications und source-based short texts. Prüfe Zweck, Adressat, Aufbau, Sprache und Quellen. Nutze Feedback, überarbeite Deinen Text und übertrage die Strategien auf neue Schreibaufgaben.

Level: Klasse 10, Englisch als erste Fremdsprache, Baden-Württemberg, M-Niveau, B1-orientiert. English first: understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer. Keine Vollübersetzung.

Einleitung

Writing is communication. A good text has a clear purpose, a clear reader and a useful structure. In this course, you work with longer but accessible English input and increasingly independently. You will write emails, reports, articles, opinion texts, applications, a fictional CV and short source-based texts.

Use this learning path: English first → understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer. German is used only when it helps you understand a strategy or mediate meaning.

Medien-Einstieg: What makes writing work?

Watch for gist first. What makes a work email clear and appropriate? On a second viewing, note useful openings, closings and differences in tone. No sign-in, comment or upload is needed for the task.

I-can-Ziele

I can choose the right register for a formal or informal situation.
I can organise a text with an opening, logical paragraphs and a suitable ending.
I can write different text types and support an opinion with reasons, examples or source information.
I can give and use feedback and revise content, structure and language.
I can mediate key information for a clear purpose and audience instead of translating everything.

Dein Lernweg

Step	Your action
Understand	Read or watch for the main message.
Respond	Give a short first answer.
Analyse	Notice purpose, audience, structure and language.
Communicate	Write or speak for a real-looking situation.
Feedback	Use clear criteria.
Revise	Improve meaning first, then language.
Transfer	Use the strategy in a new task.

Vorwissen: quick check

Answer in English. Keep it short.

What is the difference between a message to a friend and an email to a company?
Name two ways to connect ideas in a paragraph.
What should you check before using information from a source?

If one answer is difficult, continue. The course gives you models, but less support than in earlier levels.

Input: understand and analyse

Listening and Viewing: formal or informal?

Task A – gist: Decide whether each example sounds formal or informal. Task B – detail: Note three language choices that change the register. Task C – transfer: Rewrite one sentence for a school office, then for a close friend.

Reading: a model email

Read once for purpose, then again for structure.

Subject: Question about the school media workshop

Dear Ms Green,

I am writing to ask whether there are still places available in the media workshop next Friday. I am especially interested in the session on podcast editing because I am preparing a class project.

Could you please let me know when the workshop starts and whether students need to bring headphones?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards, Jamie Parker

Notice: clear subject → reason for writing → specific questions → polite ending. The fictional name is used only for practice.

Reading: report, article and opinion text

Report: factual, organised, clear findings and often recommendations. Article: informative but reader-friendly; a strong title and opening help. Opinion text: clear position, reasons, examples, counterpoint and conclusion.

Do not copy a model sentence by sentence. Use the structure and write in your own voice.

Text types at a glance

Text type	Main purpose	Useful pattern
Formal email	ask, inform, request, complain politely	subject → purpose → details → request → closing
Informal email	personal communication	greeting → news or response → questions → friendly ending
Report	present findings clearly	heading → findings → explanation → recommendation
Article	inform and engage readers	title → hook → key points → ending
Opinion text	argue for a position	position → reasons → example → counterpoint → conclusion
Application and CV	show fit for a role	motivation → relevant skills → evidence → polite close
Source-based short text	select and connect information	task focus → source point → explanation → source point → conclusion

Source-based short texts

Use sources to answer the task, not to fill the page. Identify who says what, select relevant information and paraphrase.

Practice sources – fictional: Source A: In a school survey, 68 of 100 students said they would use the library after 4 p.m. Source B: The fictional librarian says that later opening would require a new staffing plan.

Task: Write a short recommendation to the school team. Refer to both sources. Do not invent more data.

Before you trust online information, check author or organisation, date, evidence and whether another reliable source confirms the claim. AI-generated facts and references can be wrong; verify them before use.

Kontextwortschatz: build useful chunks

Function	Useful English
purpose	I am writing to … / The aim of this report is …
add	in addition / furthermore / also
contrast	however / although / on the other hand
reason	because / since / one reason is …
evidence	according to the source / the data suggests …
opinion	in my view / I would argue that …
recommend	I recommend … / It would be useful to …
conclude	overall / in conclusion / to sum up

Choose linkers because they show meaning. Do not add them only to sound advanced.

Aussprache und Speaking: say your ideas before you write

Before an application paragraph, explain one fictional strength and give one example aloud: I am reliable because … / One example is … / This would help me …

Speak clearly and naturally. Intelligibility matters more than accent-free speech. Different English accents are normal. Avoid cultural stereotypes. Record yourself only if you want to; keep recordings private unless you have explicitly agreed to share them.

Speaking bridge: Discuss two options for a fictional school project, negotiate one choice, present your decision in about 45 seconds and respond spontaneously to one follow-up question. Then use your best spoken argument in writing.

Writing: plan, draft, revise

Formal and informal emails

Formal: clear purpose, polite wording, complete information, suitable closing. Informal: natural personal tone, but still clear and coherent.

Mini-task: A fictional youth centre changed the time of a workshop. Write one formal email asking for the new details. Then write a shorter informal message to a friend about the same change.

Reports and articles

For a report, group facts under useful headings and separate findings from recommendations. For an article, think about what will make the intended reader continue reading. A catchy opening is useful only if the information stays accurate.

Mini-task: Turn the same class-event notes into two openings: one for a factual report and one for a school magazine article.

Opinion texts

A strong B1-level opinion text is easy to follow. State a position, develop reasons, add examples and show that you understand another view.

Useful frame: Position: I believe … Reason: One important reason is … Example: For example, … Counterpoint: However, some people argue … Response: This is understandable, but … Conclusion: Overall, …

Applications and CVs – fictional profiles only

Use only fictional names, addresses, schools, employers and contact details in this course. Do not publish a real CV, phone number, home address, signature or private application data.

A good application connects a requirement with evidence: skill → example → relevance. A CV should be clear, factual and consistent.

Example: I work well in a team. In a fictional school project, I coordinated the task list and helped the group meet its deadline. This experience would help me contribute reliably to the team.

Functional grammar for writing

Grammar serves communication.

Use past simple for finished past events: I organised a class event last term.
Use present perfect when past experience matters now: I have worked on several media projects.
Use modals for polite requests and recommendations: Could you …? / The school could …
Use relative clauses to add precise information: a project that helped our class …
Keep tense and reference consistent so the reader always knows who did what and when.

Mediation: purpose before translation

Mediation means passing on the information another person needs. Read the situation first: Who needs the information? Why? Which details matter? Summarise and adapt. Do not translate every sentence.

Mini-task: A German notice gives five details about a school event. Your English-speaking exchange partner only needs time, place, cost and what to bring. Pass on only those points in natural English.

Feedback and revision

Use feedback in two rounds.

Round 1 – message: Did I answer the task? Is the purpose clear? Are ideas relevant and logically ordered?
Round 2 – language: Is the register suitable? Are verbs, linkers, spelling and punctuation accurate enough for easy understanding?

Keep your original draft. Mark changes so you can see what improved.

Revision check: task → audience → structure → evidence → language → final proofread.

Error analysis: fix the cause

Too informal: Hey, I wanna know about the job. → choose a formal opening and request. Weak support: This is better. → add a reason or example. Source copy: long copied phrase → paraphrase and name the source. Linker problem: However used for addition → choose a linker that shows the real relationship. Grammar that blocks meaning: first repair the sentence that confuses the reader; smaller errors come later.

Responsible use of media and AI

Your own text remains the learning product. Save your draft before using any digital support. If AI tools are allowed by your teacher or school, do not send personal data, private applications or classmate information to external services. Check AI-generated claims and references against reliable sources and keep track of what you changed yourself.

Videos and recordings are optional learning aids. Do not upload recordings or documents unless this is explicitly required, permitted and agreed. No external AI access is needed for this course.

Prüfungsbezug Baden-Württemberg – Stand 02.10.2026

The M-level writing goals in the Baden-Württemberg curriculum include personal and simple formal correspondence, reports and factual texts, presenting advantages and disadvantages with a personal position, using connectors coherently, and applying the writing process largely independently.

If you take the Realschulabschluss in 2027, the official schedule lists the written English exam for 3 May 2027. The communication exam is scheduled for 22 February to 2 March 2027. At a Gemeinschaftsschule, the Realschulabschluss uses the same central final examinations as the other general schools. Check the current official rules again before an examination because dates, formats or administrative details can change.

Can-do-Check und Transfer

Mark what you can do without a model.

I can identify purpose, audience and register before I write.
I can write a coherent email, report, article or opinion text.
I can create a fictional application and CV without personal data.
I can use source information selectively and transparently.
I can use feedback to revise meaning, organisation and language.
I can mediate key information for a specific reader.

Transfer challenge: Take one topic and write it twice for different audiences. Explain which three choices changed and why.
