							Writing: mini things

							Hi all
   
Another great idea from an old BBC newsletter 
  
Sometimes when we ask students to write a composition they spend very little time at the important editing stage. In this lesson students will do a couple of  �short writing � activities with the focus on editing and accuracy.

Cheers

							Hi Jayho, I love it when you send us the British Council links. However, I will have to pass on this one! I spend my life getting my students to write something, anything! If I get a short paragraph, I put the flags out and celebrate the miracle!Is it because they are boys? 
 
 It �s got me thinking though. I �m now looking for very short paragraphs that can be expanded with adjectives, time connectives and adverbs. I wonder if I �ll find anything on here?   |
