A Writing Lesson (suggested stages)

Stage Notes

Lead-in Set the context of the lesson by introducing the theme or topic.

Introduce Model Text Give students an example of the type of text they’ll write later in the lesson.
(Read for Gist) Allow them to read the text just to get the main idea. Set a task for this, such as
choosing an appropriate title or matching headings to the correct sections.

Focus on the Help students notice the format and organization of the model text so they have
Structure of the Text a template for their own writing later in the lesson. Do a brief language input
and Useful Language stage in which you give students some language they can use to help them write
a better text. This could be formal language, functional language for making
suggestions, etc. It should fit with the type of text learners will be writing (and
should be planted in the model text!)

Brainstorming Give the students time to brainstorm their ideas. They can collaborate in pairs or
do this on their own. Remind students of the structure of the text (from the
previous stage) and suggest that they think about how to organize their ideas into
that format. Don’t let them start the actual writing task yet!

Writing Task Now students actually write their texts. Give them plenty of time here,
monitoring to make sure they are on task but staying out of the way to let them
focus on their writing. Give time a few time warnings so they know when to
start wrapping up their work.

Peer Editing Put students in pairs to edit each other’s work. Give them some guidance on
what to look for/ correct, such as accuracy, suggestions on content and
organization, or ideas they can give their partner for more descriptive language.

“Publishing” and Have students “publish” their texts by posting them around the room; then let
Feedback students walk around and read each other’s work. Give a task for this stage so
students have something to look for as they read. Get content feedback by asking
learners about the task you assigned. Conduct a delayed error correction stage
where students correct errors you found in their writing.
