ESSAY TOPICSGerman essay topics change each year. Topics are distributed to the German teachers after they have registered their school for the contest. Students are not given the essay topics in advance. Teachers or contest proctors will disclose the topic for the current year to the students at the start of the scheduled time for writing the essay. Essay topics are provided in German and must be non-fiction. Students are given 1/2 hour to consider the topic and write a brief essay in German. To qualify, essays must consist of a minimum of 5 paragraphs. Essays will be evaluated and the top essays ranked based on content, creativity, vocabulary, grammar and spelling. EXAMPLESThe following are some of the essay topics that were assigned in previous years. While the topics do vary from year to year, these examples should hopefully give students an idea of the types of topics they may be asked to write about.
