Knowledge about Language & Language Learning Strategies Understanding how language works and how to manipulate it, recognising that different languages may share common grammatical, syntactical or lexical features,
Sounds and Letters Books – instead of vocabulary lists of nouns….give your vocabulary learning new and different foci: letter strings, structures, phonics, high frequency, similies etc

Events or Problems? What happened next? What happened at the end? • What happens after the problem? • Does your character fix the problem? • How would they do this? • Is there a problem or an event in your story? • These are sometimes called twists • What happens to your character? • What happens at the end of your story? • How do the characters feel?

Freiburg, den 12 März Liebe Mandy Vielen Dank für deinen netten Brief. Ich habe mich darüber sehr gefreut. Ich bin fünfzehn Jahre alt und wohne in Freiburg. Das ist eine schöne, alte Stadt in Südwestdeutschland. Ich habe zwei Brüder. Martin, mein älterer Bruder, ist zwei Jahre älter als ich und Peter, mein anderer Bruder, ist zehn Jahre alt. Martin ist manchmal ungeduldig und auch sehr laut. Peter ist lieb und immer gut gelaunt. Haustiere habe ich auch! Meine Katze heisst Mitzi und ist schwarz und weiss und mein Meerschweinchen heisst Rudi. Meine Eltern müssen lange arbeiten. Mein Vater ist Bankangestellter und meine Mutter ist Zahnärztin. Ich weiss noch nicht, was ich später werden möchte. Meine Schule ist eine Gesamtschule und liegt ganz in der Stadtmitte. Meine Lieblingsfächer sind Englisch und Französisch. Mathe finde ich ziemlich schwierig! Heute abend gehe ich ins Kino. Ich sehe sehr gern Gruselfilme! Was machst du gern in deiner Freizeit? Schreib bald Markus
