How to make materials for writing?

1. Types of activity

These are some of the activities that we can use in order to help students to improve their writing skills:

• Roleplay (The students write the dialogue)
• Create a kind of diary where you can write your thoughts
• Write reports about interviews, movies, documentaries, articles, etc
• Make a tale or story from using a card with a specific image
• Make a poem, song or proverb from a meaningful experience you lived

Exercise: Design an activity where students must write a report about their favorite movie, making use of connectors and strong adjectives.





2. Tips for teachers

•  Select the topics based on the likes and interests of students
•  Make use of students experiences
•  Include new vocabulary that students can use in real life context
•  Motivate students to read aloud and share what they write with their  partners
•  Include other skills like reading and listening
•  Promote a space where students correct each others mistakes

3. Strategies that students can use

•  Read a sample letter and identify  its parts
•  Picture dictation
•  Translating
•  Chaining/combining sentences
•  Substitution tables (Written)
•  Answering comprehension  questions
•  Imagine it- draw it- describe it. 
•  Emphasizing on connectors
