Which type of essay writing should i start with?
 
Dear teachers,
I was asked to teach essay writing this year to my 11 years old students (upper elementry). I am a little hesitant about which type of essays should i start with. Which type of essay writing should I start with and why?
 
Thx in advance for all your answers

Hi! Smile
Maybe, you could ask them to describe their favourite teacher (physical description + personality). It should be easy - VERB to BE, to HAVE, a few adjectives and some basic forms of Simple Present.
My students love describing their favourite teacher because they can say nice things about him/her. Some of their essays are often really cute Wink I usually require approximately 120 - 150 words (super short essay, I know).
Hope this helps.
Hugs,
Alessandra
