A well-chosen ESL creative writing activity can give learners the practice they need to strengthen word recall and improve written accuracy. Dictogloss is one of the most effective options. It blends listening, speaking, note-taking, and writing into a single structured ESL writing lesson, making it an ideal choice for busy teachers who want powerful, high-impact classroom results.
ESL Writing Lessons: Structure a Paragraph
This writing activity helps English students learn how to write a well structured paragraph by learning and practicing how to:
1 Write a good topic sentence.
This is the first sentence of the paragraph. This sentence tells the reader the main idea.
2 Provide evidence and details to support ideas.
This is a hard lesson to learn for some students. They think that when they make a claim no proof, evidence or details are required. This is not a mistake – it is a cultural difference in writing styles.
3 Write a whole paragraph.
Finish the idea or paragraph with a conclusion. This gives the paragraph unity and cohesion.
