Level 1 Writing - Describing a shop or restaurant

This is a set of materials for the third writing cycle in the spring term, “Describing a shop or restaurant”. This writing cycle is intended to last for approximately 3 lessons, and teachers are encouraged to supplement with other materials as they see fit.

There are 3 activities and 1 task sheet:
- activity 1 covers brainstorming and writing sentences;
- activity 2 looks at a few correction symbols (for capitalisation, singular/plural and subject-verb agreement errors);
- activity 3 has the students revise the first draft of a paragraph, and includes a wider range of correction symbols;
- the task has students write a paragraph about a shop or restaurant of their choosing, and takes them from brainstorming through to writing the second draft of their paragraph.

Each of the activities contains a worksheet for students and a worksheet for teachers (with suggested answers). The task has 3 pages for students, which can be printed on double-sided A3 paper, plus one page of suggestions for teachers.

Please let us know how these materials work in class, and any suggestions you have for improving them. ‘Word’ versions of these materials are available in Shared Files, and hard copies are in the level 1 binder. Thanks.
