Writing 3 places
writing in a central place in the pre-intermediate classroom, presenting
it as an activity which contributes to language learning in general. The
emphasis throughout the book is on encouraging learners to use English
imaginatively and creatively to express their own ideas in writing and
to communicate with each other in the classroom. The approach concentrates
on writing as a process, with opportunities for drafting, rewriting and
collaboration between students. It also encourages students to explore
personal approaches to writing and develops different kinds of writing
such as short stories, poetry, argument, formal and personal letters. A
number of linked units allow a topic to be developed further through projects
and mini-simulations.
