A great way to start a class concentrating on the simple past.

I usually engage everyone in a friendly chat, just to get them ready for the start of the lesson, then, when I know they are concentrated on me, I walk out of the classroom.

Seconds later (after the chatter has died down a little - 'where's he gone?') I knock loudly on the door, then open the door, wave to…

The Society for Technical Communication's award-winning 

Technical Literacy Project adapts many

real-world science instructions and descriptions for use in

high-school science classes.  These cases gradually build

student writing skills by revising, correcting, or expanding

scaffolded, sequenced text samples adapted from practical

materials outside the classroom.  

Such structured technical-writing practice is especially 

helpful for English language learners because:

 

     

     

  • It focuses everyone's attention on the TEXT SIGNALS

Ex. Where? The dog ran .............

You can use the newspaper in many ways but one easy way is to ask a student each day to begin class by reporting 3 things from the news. A new student each day. Ask questions afterwards and have the student write the 3 main…
