Sharing of experiences
One of the best ways to learn teaching practices is by sharing experiences with
other colleagues. Taking this idea into account, think about an effective activity
you have used in the teaching of writing.
Pre-writing
- Students look at some pictures about products, then work in pairs and discuss
the following questions:
1. Which of these things do you have or use?
2. Who uses them? Why do you think they are popular?
3. Which do you think will still be popular in the future?
- Teacher asks about the questions and make students participate and tell what
they discuss in pairs.
Writing
- Teacher shows an advertisement about a new type of laptop and say students
to focus on the words that are in bold.
- Students work in pairs to discuss about Why the words are in bold?
- Teacher respond to the question using the student ideas and clarifying some of
them.
- Teacher asks students to form groups of three, to create a product using the
materials and to create an advertisement for the product including some of the
words in bold from the previous exercise, they have to add minimum five
characteristics.
Post-writing
- Students come to the front, present their product and read the advertisement
they create.
- The whole class says which product they like to buy and why.
Possible adaptations (for teachers of other levels to use the activity): Students
can specify more on the characteristics of the product, write more than 5
characteristics.
