Where is that in the text? Simple questions about texts and text types often cause students a lot of headaches. Current performance tests highlight the core problem: students lack strategies that can be applied to all text types. This volume addresses this issue with a holistic approach. It promotes reading competence in connection with writing! This book offers systematic training for this purpose. Numerous photocopiable templates examine the following text types through writing tasks: fairy tales, fables, fantasy stories, legends, sagas, anecdotes, and jokes. Students engage with various phases of reading and writing through targeted writing tasks. In three steps, they learn about the mentioned text types, become experts on them, and write their own texts as authors.
