A stimulating writing task to describe a great person.
Lesson: Helen Keller.
Class: 5th grade.
Skills: Writing and creative expression.
Writing is one of the biggest challenges for teachers. Because children do not want to write. Especially in second language classrooms, teachers are facing big trouble in giving writing tasks. So teachers need to encourage their learners by assigning interesting writing activities.
So, I always try to give my learners interesting and engaging writing tasks to stimulate them. They clearly participate more actively when I give them creative tasks. They did this writing task after we had looked at the life of Helen Keller in class and it offered them an opportunity to consolidate their understanding and express a diversity of ideas.
