Move students around and keep the lesson dynamic Simple questions Simple clear explanations Don’t forget to pre-teach unknown vocab Make sure you error correct 1. Ask students in groups of 3 what type of things they write or can be written. Ask them to write down as many things as possible. Then put two columns on the board and write “formal” / “informal”. Elicit from students what type of language we use in the various writings and board underneath the right column. Board the aim/topic of the day. (5mins) 2. Elicit from students how to open and close on “formal” and “informal” writing. Make sure that you elicit and/or explain: a. the layout in formal writing of letters and emails etc. and the informal ways of writing. Formal Dear Sir, Yours faithfully (when reader’s name not known to writer) Dear Mr/Mrs …….., Yours sin cerely (when reader’s name known). Informal Dear Grandad, Hi, Hey, etc. Make sure that students don’t write Hi, I am George as the reader will know the writer so no need to explain who you are.
