UNIT 6

WRITING

Teaching are many reasons for students to write, both in and outside class.  I this unit I reviewed many things. Writing is one of the four language skills. Writing and speaking are productive skills. When thinking about writing, it is helpful to make a distinction between writing for learning and writing for writing. Also we need to take in account the writing process we will want to involve them in the process of writing. In the real, world this typically involves planning what we are going to write, drafting it, reviewing and editing what we have written and then production a final and satisfactory version. Many people have thought that this is a linear process, but a closer examination of how writers of all different kinds are involved in the writing process suggests that we do all of these things again and again, sometimes in a chaotic order. In addition, subskills related to communicating our ideas using appropriate a style and register, organising ideas in a helpful way, using the feature typical of the text type we are writing, joining our words and sentences clearly and using appropriate functions to express our meaning. For example; narrating telling story complaining, requesting, thanking, summarising( expressing main points or ideas in a few clear words) and concluding. I would to apply to teach in the future to my students using music and pictures because are excellent stimuli for both writing and speaking. For example; we can play a piece of music and the students have to imagine and then write out the film scene they think it could accompany this can be done after they have looked at film script model so pictures offer a wealth of possibilities. I can ask students to write descriptions of one of a group of pictures. All of these activities are designed to get students writing freely, in an engaging way.
