Writing workshop - 1 Dec 2009

Hello everyone!

Our last workshop of the year was about writing. As we have been doing so far this last month, when we have been introducing the different skills, we have seen the basic steps that should be taken when writing a text. Please find a basic outline below. Surely you'll find this extremely interesting!!

To support and expand this, click on the work SKILLSWISE. You'll find yourself drawn into the wonderful world of the excellent English-learning website of the BBC!!

One of the steps in this writing process is brainstorming. We cannot start writing right away. We have to dedicate some time to thinking and to coming up with ideas that afterwards will be organised into paragraphs. Sometimes, having some kind of GRAPHIC ORGANISER helps. Here you have one example:


And finally, we talked about punctuation, which is essential in the correct organization of our ideas in a text. Click on the words BASIC PUNCTUATION for some basic rules and practice.

Write on!!
