A good format
I've found this lesson is a good outline for inserting any number of different writing exercises into. It doesn't have to just be writing about a place (although the 360 degree writing task may need to be deleted). It also encourages constructive criticism skills from other students.Concise, Strucured and Fexible!
I enjoyed previewing this sequence. The creative activities were well structured (giving direction and support), yet allowing ample freedom for expression. I like the idea of submitting an initial task, allowing feedback, adding stimulus material, then revisiting the initial task.loved:)
I once attended a workshop in which this kind of writing activity was developed. It is a good idea to have pre-while-and post writing stages as writing should be taught in a process. For the homework we might also ask the learners to place themselves somewhere physically and then start writing what they see,feel, hear and smell as well as adding photos of the place. I enjoyed doing the activities. Thank you:))good writing sequence
I liked the form of the exercises but I would like them to know the size of their writing outcome.
