Tell students they are going to write a
story about a sports event. In pairs or small groups, students make
notes on what to include in their story. As feedback, discuss in
open class the type of things students
have
decided
to
include.

Ask students to write their story.
Encourage them to organise their writing as outlined in Exercise 3
and to use a variety of past
tenses.
This
can be done as a collaborative writing activity in class with pairs
of students working together to complete the exercise. On
completion, you could ask students to exchange their texts with
another pair
for
them to
read and correct any grammatical errors. If you have space, display
the texts on the walls of the
classroom.
