This part of the site is intended to help you with your studies. Kindly read and work through Advice on Writing Essays in Academic English before you turn in your term paper. The samples of regular and EPG exams may help you to prepare for midterms and finals. Finally, the examples of successful EPG papers may enable Lehramts-Studierenden to decide what kind of paper they would like to write. You may either write a paper about a specific ethical issue dealt with in one of the literary texts we have discussed in class or an applied EPG paper. In this case you will describe how you would go about teaching an ethical issue in an Oberstufe classroom by means of literature.
