Write a variety of text types in clear German to explore and justify varied ideas and perspectives
In this internal standard, Year 13 German students write several different types of texts in German — for example a letter, a blog post, an essay, or a speech. The writing needs to show that you can share and back up your own views, as well as engage with other people's perspectives, all in clear German suited to the audience and purpose. Because it is internal, your teacher sets and marks the work at school across the year.
Your writing gets the message across clearly in German. You explore some ideas and give basic reasons for your views. There can be some errors in spelling, grammar, or word choice as long as they do not stop the reader understanding you. The format suits the text type reasonably well.
Your writing is generally convincing — your ideas are developed more fully and your German flows in a mostly connected and credible way. You use a range of language features that suit the purpose and audience. Small errors are present but they do not seriously get in the way of communication.
Your writing is controlled and well put together. Your ideas and perspectives are developed in a sophisticated, integrated way. You choose language features skillfully and they work well for your purpose and audience. Errors are rare and do not hinder communication at all.
