Introduction and Warmer:
Like any other lesson, you will introduce yourself and write the lesson objectives
on the board. You will then try a warmer activity to get your students in the mood
and focussed.
Presentation:
At this stage of the lesson, you will give students a pre-writing task which will
involve a discussion on ideas that can be used for your chosen topic.
A very good way to generate ideas is to use an image which is connected to your
chosen topic. For example, you could show them a peaceful lakeside scene which
connects into the topic of outdoor activities. Another way to stimulate ideas is to
read your learners a story which relates to your topic. Get creative!
Instead of having a discussion and generating ideas, you could focus on the
structure of the piece of written work. In other words, you could explain that you
will be writing a letter, an email, a report or a story. You could then introduce
the various types of structure required.
In the writing activity section, there are some ideas for teaching the different
types of structure.
Practice Stage:
The Plan:
Unit 1: Lesson Structure In the first practice part of a writing lesson, your will teach your learners how to
plan a piece of writing.
In this planning section, you will teach your students to think about the following:
Lesson aim: why they are writing this piece of work
Content: what's going to go in it
Structure: how they will structure their paragraphs (introduction and conclusion)
Writing:
During this stage, the learners will get on with writing, while you can monitor and
help as required.
Reviewing:
This is when your students get a chance to check their work. They will need to
check whether they have answered the question and have done so using the
correct structure. You should also get them to check their spelling.
Summary and Reflection:
This is where you have a summary, reflect on the lesson and ask 'What went well?'
Cooler:
End the lesson with a fun cooler activity.

As with any lesson you teach, it's vital that you make the lesson relevant to your
learners and make it fun. Always try to think about whether you would enjoy the
activity and always try to give your learners a good reason for doing it, based on
the lesson objective.
Let's focus on some of the different types of writing that you could try.
When you teach writing, you will have to decide on whether the work will be
informal or formal and the degree of difficulty you will set during the lesson,
depending on the level of the learners.
The most important difference between formal and informal pieces of writing is
the style of language used. Please see the suggested reading at the end of the
sections for further guidance.
Facebook Status:
Get your learners to write an update in English for their
status. Twitter:
Create a school twitter account and post tweets. This is a very good one for
adding a piece of informal writing to a group project. You could suggest ways
to re-cycle plastic at school and tweet your ideas as well as completing a poster
and presentation.
Blog:
Write a blog for a group
project. Wikispaces:
Create and add writing to your Wikispaces account so that your students can view
it.
In addition, this is a very useful resource for you if/when you change jobs. You can
show your students' work to your new learners.
Advertising slogans:
Students are asked to write their own slogans. You can vary the difficulty of this
activity by using a gap fill of existing slogans or make it a freer activity for higher
level students by asking them to create their own.
Just give them a product and get them to brainstorm the vocabulary.
Application forms:
This is a useful activity for students who are applying for summer schools abroad
or for university.
Unit 2: Choosing Writing Material
CVs:
This is an important activity for students thinking about applying for work
experience or summer jobs, or adult learners looking to apply for a job abroad.
Biographies:
In this activity, learners write a biography of a famous person. This is a great
activity to set for homework or for a research activity in the classroom.
