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.

types of structure.
