Writing:
Formal Essays
Here are some
formal writing assignments that you can use to help your
students write more formal, lengthy assignments. I've also
included some outlines and worksheets to help guide them through
the writing process.
Beginner/Intermediate:
My Hobby - This is a
sample essay about my hobby. Students can use this as a model to
write about their own hobbies.
Advanced:
"Advertising Campaigns" - After teaching a section on
advertising campaigns (using vocabulary like global,
campaign, effective, market) I made this handout, which can
guide students to write an analysis of an advertising campaign
of their choosing.
"Eye for
an Eye" - An opinion essay on the death penalty / capital
punishment.
"The Pollution
Solution" - As a teacher in Taiwan, especially, this is a very
relevant topic about which to write.
"Taking Risks"
- What does it mean to take a risk, and how do you feel about
certain risks?
Additional
Resources:
5-Paragraph Essay
Template - Here is a general outline that can be used to guide
students through the process of writing an essay on any topic (with
an introduction, 3 supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion).
