讓我們寫作：尋寶寫作課

In this writing course, learners will describe processes like how to find the treasure through writing using picture prompts. This class is great of all learners who wish to develop their writing. ESL friendly - A2 learners and above.

Each class will start with a picture prompt. Learners will discuss what they can see and what might be happening in the picture. Key vocabulary will be drawn out at this stage to help with the writing process later.

The teacher will then pose a question which is what learners will write about eg 'Where is the treasure?' or 'Can we pack our suitcases in time?' or 'What do we need to go swimming?'

In this class, we will follow a 5 step process for writing:
Step 1: Prewriting. 
Step 2: Planning and outlining. 
Step 3: Writing a first draft. 
Step 4: Redrafting and revising. 
Step 5: Editing and proofreading.

Steps 1, 2 and some of 3 will be doing in the class. Learners will be encouraged to complete their writing after class and post it to the classroom after class to complete steps 4 and 5.
