Level 3: Writing – Extra ideas – slideshows

dbrewster — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:02:43 +0000

I’ve used these two PowerPoint slideshows in my Communicative Writing extension class. They seemed to work quite well to outline some approaches to opinion essays.

If you fancy trying them out, I’d be interested to hear what you think. They may give extra ideas/activities for the 2nd writing task in the Level3 Writing Course.

There are no ‘how to notes’ with the slideshows, but I think they are quite easy to follow – I allowed a lot of discussion and pair-work for students to talk about the points raised as the slideshows played.

Eigo IIB Level 3 Task 3 Grammar Support

Ted O'Neill — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:43:18 +0000

Enclosed the attached .zip archive are two slideshows and instructor notes for instructional materials to teach Future Conditionals and Hypothetical Conditionals (Present). These structures should be useful for students when writing the problem/solution essay.

The instructor notes are in PDF format but the slideshows are in editable .ppt and .key formats as well as PDF. The Keynotes presentations are more attractive, but Mac only.

Identical files are also on Shared Files and hard copies in the appropriate binder on the B course shelf.

You can download a folder of the supplementary materials for the first writing task in Level 3 below. There are two zip files: one contains PDF files, the other contains Word (.doc) files. The Word files can be edited, but may have format problems as the original files format was pages (Macintosh).

Level 3 Writing: Referencing

Kay Irie — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:54:29 +0000

This is a handout that I made for my class explaining how to write a reference for online resources and Japanese resources (I am allowing my students to use one or two resources in Japanese in addition to English resources). This is in the MLA style. Please feel free to modify and let me know if you spot any errors.

Level 3 Writing: A sample essay

Kay Irie — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 07:04:09 +0000

This is an adaptation of the essay on death penalty has been in the resource binder. I added more citations and listed the works cited. Although I used the MLA style for the list, I simply used serial numbers following the order of appearance in the text. If you want to follow the MLA style more closely, you might want to change them to cited page numbers.

One thing I was not able to demonstrate is the use of quotation.
