Instructional Ideas

  • Add additional practice exercises to each section and have class members create examples
  • Save the "Your Turn" exercise as an assessment 

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners require access to devices with internet
  • A projection device is required if conducting the lesson in class

Pros

  • The lesson introduces young writers to essential aspects of good writing

Cons

  • Little scaffolding is provided
