    The Journal of the Arizona Yacht Club - September 2010 Fall Race Season Set to Begin! Merit 25 and Viper 640 Fleets Are Back, Indicating Strong Interest By Trey Harlow he fall racing season is upon us, and it’s already turned out to be a challenging beginning! As many of you may have heard, seen, or witnessed, Tempe Town Lake is out of commission until the Tend of October at the earliest. While it’s too early to place blame for the failure, I thought it was aw- fully convenient that Dennis Martinelli announced he was moving to Cali- fornia the very week the dam exploded. I’ll let you decide! (Good luck to Dennis in his move to Bakersfield. At least now we have a place to stop over on our way to Huntington.) Shorter TTL Season In the wake of the TTL fiasco, we will have a shortened fall season there, BUT that doesn’t mean that if you race exclusively at TTL, you have to give up any races. That’s right, come join your fellow racers at Lake Pleasant for several weekends of racing until TTL is back in service! Latest status indicates that the dam construction is on schedule and TTL is planned to be back in service in November. In the meantime, the AYC fleet looks forward to seeing any and all TTL racers out at LP for fun in the sun. Dennis Martinelli scored a Buccaneer National Championship Three-peat crewing for Dave Spira. Now Dennis has jumped Lake Pleasant is shaping up for another good series of racing with six at a FedEx promotion and has moved to (true) Bakersfield, fleets planning to participate.

Titelgestaltung: Jens Windolf Designer AGD www.jenswindolf.de Hamburg 2017 Mittlerer Schulabschluss Englisch Hinweise und Beispiele zu den zentralen schriftlichen Prüfungsaufgaben Vorwort Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die vorliegende Aufgabensammlung versteht sich als Ergänzung zu den „Regelungen für die zentralen schriftlichen Prüfungsaufgaben“ und zeigt Beispiele, wie die Aufgaben für die schriftlichen Abschlussarbeiten gestaltet sein werden. Es handelt sich um zwei Aufgabensätze, jeder Satz ist wie eine vollständige Abschlussarbeit aufgebaut. Die Aufgaben sind zur Vorbereitung und Übung gedacht, Sie können mit Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern einzelne Aufgabenformate üben oder jeden Satz als Ganzes bearbeiten lassen. Die wesentliche Neuerung besteht darin, dass jede Prüfungsarbeit ein oder zwei Aufgaben enthält, die einen höheren Schwierigkeitsgrad aufweisen und damit das Erreichen der Note E 1 ermöglichen. Die Anforderungen orientieren sich an den im Bildungsplan Stadtteilschule Englisch (Hamburg 2011) ausgewiesenen „Mindestanforderungen am Ende der Jahrgangsstufe 9 bzw. im Verlauf der Jahrgangsstufe 10 mit Blick auf den Übergang in die Studienstufe nach Jahrgangsstufe 11“. Die Aufgaben sind eigens gekennzeichnet und mit einem Hinweis für die Schülerinnen und Schüler versehen; sie müssen nicht bearbeitet werden, ermöglichen es jedoch, zusätzliche Punkte zu erwerben. Das Erreichen der Note E 1 erfordert die richtige Lösung dieser Aufgaben.
