Instructional Ideas
  • Depending on what you want to focus on in your class, you can pick and choose from the activities
  • The newspaper article activity provides a sample article; draft additional samples to support learners as they try out the different genres
Classroom Considerations
  • Resource is considered a preview by the publisher, so you may wish to extend the activities or create some related materials; for example, one activity calls for a chart that you could easily put together
Pros
  • Comes with a variety of activities that require learners to explore several topics and practice expository and creative writing
Cons
  • One of the activities mentions questions, but does not include them, and another describes a chart, but does not include it
