Guided Writing Aims at supporting learners in this psychologically and cognitively difficult task

Parallel Writing Students work with a story and then write their own on a similar/same topic.

Parallel writing can best be described as rewriting with different basic information.

Collaborative Writing

Writing Consequenceswww.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/writing-consequences

Each student adds one stage to the story then folds the paper to cover the information and passes the paper to the student on the right. The end result is a mixed-up story that can often be amusing.

Two or more people jointly composing a text, contributing components to it and participating in modifying, editing and/or reviewing the document.The writing process becomes a recursive task, where each change

prompts others to make more changes.

Integrating Writing


“like a lamb to the slaughter”

If someone does something or goes somewhere like a lamb to the slaughter, they do it without knowing that something bad is going to happen and therefore act calmly and without fighting against the situation


Genre

Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980), known as “the master of suspense”, was an English film director and producer


“I´ve got something to tell you”


What does he tell her?


And he told her. It didn't take long, four or five minutes at most, and she stay very still through it all, watching him with a kind of dazed horror as he went further and further away from her with each word.


How does she feel?

Her first instinct was not to believe any of it, to reject it all. It occurred to her that perhaps he hadn't even spoken, that she herself had imagined the whole thing. Maybe, if she went about her business and acted as though she hadn't been listening, then later, when she sort of woke up again, she might find none of it had ever happened.

"I'll get the supper," she managed to whisper, and this time he didn't stop her.

When she walked across the room she couldn't feel her feet touching the floor. She couldn't feel anything at all except a slight nausea and a desire to vomit. Everything was automatic now down the steps to the cellar, the light switch, the deep freeze, the hand inside the cabinet taking hold of the first object it met. She lifted it out, and looked at it. It was wrapped in paper, so she took off the paper and looked at it again.

A leg of lamb.

All right then, they would have lamb for supper. She carried it upstairs, holding the thin bone end of it with both her hands, and as she went through the living room,she saw him standing over by the window with his back to her, and she stopped.


What does she do next?


At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head.


“All right, she told herself. So I've killed him”.


What is her alibi?

Think of an ending for the story



"Get the weapon, and you've got the man.”

Summer Camp job application

Dear Mr/Madam,

I am writing in relation to the job advertisement for coordinator, which appeared in the local newspaper I read this morning. I am twenty-four years old and I am studying organisation of events at college.I think I am the right person for the job because I have the skills and the ability to deal with groups of different ages. As far as children are concerned, they are going to feel free to have fun and spend enjoyable moments but at the same time they will be ready to obey they coordinator. I made a seven-month course based on helping, taking care and leading groups. What is more, I have some experience of working as a group leader. I am very reliable and I get on well with people.I would be available hole week from January to February. Then, from March to May, I will only be available from Monday to Friday. At that time I will be doing a part-time job so I will not be here during the weekend. I have no experience of working full-time but I have had summer jobs.I am looking forward to your reply. I can be contacted at the above address or by mail at [email protected].

Yours faithfully,Anna

… the toolbox has!

Teaching has not really changed


“If a child can´t learnthe way we teach,

maybe we should teachthe way they learn.”

Ignacio Estrada


“The new education must teach the individual how to classify and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to

change categories when necessary, how to move from the concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from

a new direction—how to teach himself.

”Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.“

Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy of the Human Resources Research Organization
