Focus on Skills
Each writing activity has a specific instructional objective. No fillers here. Teach well and your students will:
- write faster and with more accuracy
- learn simple techniques to write interesting passages
- use a four step framework that leads to well-reasoned arguments
Boxed information on each lesson page gives you a snap shot of the objective along with approximate lesson time (it depends on a lot of variables) and required resources.
Teach With Imagination
Language-focused teaching can be dry … but it doesn’t have to be. Here is an example from the ebook (Lesson 6). It blends problem solving, vocabulary control and grammar rules for articles. It is based on an old puzzle about a man who wants to cross a river with three things. Students put the pictures in order and then write the story with two restrictions: use synonyms for the verb move and use articles correctly.
