Writing

As part of your Higher German course, you will be assessed on your writing. As with the other three skills (Reading, Listening and Talking), Writing accounts for 25% of your overall mark.

As course work, you will be asked to submit a Writing Assignment (worth 12.5% of your total mark) and sit a Directed Writing essay as part of your Reading & Directed Writing exam paper (the DW is also worth 12.5%, of course!).

Below is everything you need to know about producing a good piece of Directed Writing. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of this throughout the course!
