UNIT 6 WRITING



I learnt that writing is one of the four important skills part of communication. Good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and ease to a  larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversations. Furthermore, writing has levels of complexity and Writing, where you have to know how to use the vocabulary , the correct context and the accuracy that means the use of correct forms of language, with accuracy we can form paragraphs organising ideas in a helpful way using appropriate functions in order to request, summarise, complain expressing main ideas in a sequential way.
  


It is important the teacher help the students to develop their ideas following the next writing process.

  • Drafting (a piece of writing that may be changed)
  • Editing ( correcting and improving the text)
  • Proofreading (checking for mistakes and innacuracy)
  • Re-drafting (writing a second version of the writing) 

I think that writing can be applicable in class, the teacher has to start from the simpler to the more complex in order to students don't get confused, for example begin with filling charts, shorts letters, etc.where students dont use so difficult vocabulary until get little bit little through an intensive reading As Maryellen Weimer said in her book In the Balance of the Power; who talks about the motivitation in students to make them critical thinkers', for thant reason it could be reflected in their writings. As much they read as much they write, remember with an empty brain there is nothing to write. 


For a better understanding here I attach a video about a conference showing an effectiveness group writing activity
