A panoply of teaching resources.
Ideal for high beginner (and above) students, this writing lesson teaches English students paragraph organization. In order to present the lesson in a meaningful way, students will choose two things that will be compared in a paragraph with a topic sentence, proof and a conclusion.
What is the purpose of teaching writing? Write a five paragraph essay? Pshaw. Write an error-free persuasive essay? Puh-lease.
The goal, I believe, is to help ESL students become independent writers.
English students can prepare for quiz 1 by reviewing and answering these questions.
The quiz will use some of the questions, not all of them. The questions on the quiz will be random so I suggest you study all of these questions.
Learning English rules governing the use of commas is tough. My writer’s grammar guide has 20 pages about commas, half of which includes exceptions to the rules. This lesson helps ESL students become better writers by showing three common uses for commas and some exceptions. It’s not comprehensive. Instead, it builds knowledge, slowly and progressively. Too much grammar at one time is like drinking water from a fire hydrant: it can be overwhelming.
