Post 24. Chain Writing

Building Writing Skill
Intermediate - Advanced
Class Work
To continue friends' writing

Class Activates
It must be difficult to have a well-organized essay or a good writing based on the genre by practicing this activity. It's just for fun.

Every student makes a mind map/brainstorming for the writing. Then, students write a topic sentence. Next, they pass their paper to a friend sitting next to them. They continue writing on their friend's paper by adding 1 sentence which must be suitable with the brainstorming/drafting provided by their friend. Before adding a sentence, they must read the previous sentence(s) well. They must use new learnt grammar and new vocabulary discussed before. The activity is continued until students finish their writings.

For a fast and fun activity, it can be used to write a story or for a creative writing. Students freely add a sentence to build a story without making a mind map first.

Post 16. Grouping Students

How to divide students into some groups/pairs Pair works, group works, and class works are common class activities for a big class. When we split students into some teams, or they must work in pairs, we can use another way to group them. Every student has got a word. Students must go around the class and look for friends bringing words in the same given category or decided rule. The decided rules can be looking for synonym, finding the antonym, categorizing, or other ideas. Having found friends bringing the required words, they work in that group. By grouping students in this way, we can also review learnt vocabulary or provide new words for students.

Writing Vs Imagining

I wish I could always update what I've started. Actually, I'm writing not to tell others of how teaching English is, but these are for my own reminder since I can't manage my stuff of teaching things well. By writing them, I can easily check what I want to use for my following different classes. However, I'm not good writing, and vlog now seems more popular; I mean useful; than blog. I hope someday I can continue writing. Have I got vlog? No, I haven't. I keep updating my Instagram, @teflcase_teachingenglish. It doesn't mean that I provide awesome teaching tips or such stuff, but I just want to make such kinds of place to save what I have made, so that in a different occasion I can look at them again for some purposes. I, actually, try to write more procedures of teaching English for some class activities, but I may rethink to continue writing due to some reasons. I know Imagining is more fun that Writing; I think. Then, I don't write but imagine. My bad...
