27. April @ 16:00 - 17:00
Liebe Schülerinnen, liebe Schüler,
um Sie bei der Vorbereitung auf die Abschlussprüfungen zu unterstützen, bieten wir Ihnen eine kostenfreie Online-Abiturvorbereitung im Fach Englisch am Montag, den 27.04 um 16:00 Uhr an.

Inhalte:
This webinar presents deeper insight into the task material-based writing (MBW), which earns half the credits in the Abitur of class 12 and two fifths in class 13. After a brief overview of the task, there will be a particular emphasis on hints how students can avoid typical errors and on how they can improve their writing performance. Having attended the previous webinar on MBW (I) is not vital, but can be useful.
As regards practice, we will discuss an MBW dealing with the way people – and in particular youths – access information online. For preparation it would be beneficial for all participants to already consider two of the materials, the quotation provided below, and the cartoon under the link given. All task-related material will also be presented throughout the webinar.
After the webinar a sample solution will be made available.
