This ESL lesson helps students learn English writing with four different composition tasks.

Sequence Writing
A writing exercise helps students write fluid paragraphs by focusing on the sequence of events. This writing lesson uses a video prompt, which is great for a classroom because it is less than two minutes long. The video prompt is here: ESL writing lesson video prompt.
Vocabulary Worksheet
Sometimes a writing class needs a change of pace. That is why I like to use these worksheets. They build vocabulary, help with pronunciation and activate cognition with challenging, sometimes easy, general knowledge questions designed for ESL students. Try this worksheet: words and book worksheet.
