What it is: A plan is five short notes before you write: type, reader, three points, opening, closing.
| Plan note | Example (task: a blog about sleep) |
|---|---|
| Text type | Blog |
| Reader and tone | classmates, ihr, friendly |
| 3 points | warum Schlaf wichtig ist · Handy im Bett · 3 Tipps |
| Opening | Wer ist morgens auch so müde? |
| Closing | Probiert es eine Woche aus! |
