Free Writing Resources In addition to 8-week online writing courses, Time4Writing provides free writing resources to help parents and educators teach writing more effectively. The writing resources listed below are organized into seven main categories. Each category includes a selection of fun writing games, instructional videos, printable writing worksheets and other writing tools that are topic specific and related to each category. If you think your child needs one-on-one writing instruction, Time4Writing offers individualized writing classes for elementary, middle, and high school students. Writing Skills When children learn how to write, a whole world of possibilities opens up for them. Writing Sentences We learn how to write sentences early on, and while this is a basic skill, it is one that we must learn to expand on as writing sentences becomes increasingly complex. Writing Paragraphs In writing, students begin by learning letters, then words, and finally sentences. Writing Essays Teaching Writing
Machine Stories Writing Activities I've invented (or borrowed) a few extraordinary machines and put them into your child(ren)'s hands. What happens when they use them? Again, either your child(ren) can write the stories on their own or, together, you can create the tales. This machine lets you travel in time. Forwards or backwards. How far into the past or the future do you go? This machine lets you travel in space. Where do you go? This machine lets you go anywhere at any time. Where and when did you go? © 1999 Stuart B Baum Point this machine at any animal or thing. At what did you point the machine? This machine gives you one superpower. What did you choose? Send me your solution to this writing activity (solution form). Entries we like will receive a StuartStories pen.The younger the writer, the more likely we’ll send out a pen. Of course, it's completely subjective and everyone wins just by playing.
Choosing an Essay Topic If you have not been assigned a topic, then the whole world lies before you. Sometimes that seems to make the task of starting even more intimidating. Actually, this means that you are free to choose a topic of interest to you, which will often make your essay a stronger one. Define Your Purpose The first thing you must do is think about the purpose of the essay you must write. Is your purpose to persuade people to believe as you do, to explain to people how to complete a particular task, to educate people about some person, place, thing or idea, or something else entirely? Brainstorm Subjects of Interest Once you have determined the purpose of your essay, write down some subjects that interest you. If you have trouble thinking of subjects, start by looking around you. Evaluate Each Potential Topic If you can think of at least a few topics that would be appropriate, you must simply consider each one individually. For example, the topic "KENYA" is a general one.

A creative writing activity: A dark and stormy night Submitted 48 years 7 months ago by admin. This is an idea I learned when I first started teaching and still use to this day. The main focus of the activity is on developing writing skills, but it's also good for developing listening and reading skills and also for practising past tenses and descriptive vocabulary. The activity should work at most levels above elementary, as long as your students have some knowledge of past tenses, but it works best when they also know past continuous / progressive too. All you need to get things started is a sheet of plain paper for each pair of students. The listening part comes first: Ask the students to draw the face of a person in the top right-hand corner of the page. In this way they build up a character profile for the person they are going to write about. The writing part: Now dictate the following sentence to your students: 'It was a dark and stormy night and'. Follow up: Nik Peachey, Teacher, Trainer, Materials writer, British Council

Engbloggalfa GDS design principles GOV.UK is for anyone who has an interest in how UK government policies affect them. Using this style guidance will help us make all GOV.UK information readable and understandable. It has a welcoming and reassuring tone and aims to be a trusted and familiar resource. We take all of the writing for web points into account when we write for GOV.UK. Then we add the following points based on user testing and analysis on our own website. Active voice Use the active rather than passive voice. Addressing the user Address the user as ‘you’ where possible. Avoid duplication What are you and other departments publishing? We have over 116,000 items of content in departmental and policy areas. Duplicate content confuses the user and damages the credibility of GOV.UK content. If there are 2 pieces of information on a subject, perhaps there are 3 and the user has missed one? If something is written once and links to relevant info easily and well, people are more likely to trust the content. Be concise
