Understanding the basic structure of an argument is essential for many kinds of writing tasks that require a degree of critical thinking. Developing that skill is the objective of this ESL writing lesson.
Helping students learn arguments through critical thinking is an important part of the ESL writing class. That’s what this exercise does. This lesson is an introduction to critical thinking. It gets students thinking about arguments, persuasion techniques, and missing information.
Teaching English vocabulary does not have to be a chore. Sometimes, a few short fun games can enliven the class mood and transform the learning process into an enjoyable experience.
That’s the aim of these two vocabulary games. None are meant to be full classroom lessons. They are 10 minute language learning activities that offer a change of pace or provide a language focused activity when you need to fill a 10 minute gap.
