Here is the first unit, as promised! A teacher-adaptable unit drawing on learners' own initial writing efforts to create a targeted writing skills lesson (or sequence of lessons).
Here are the relevant downloads:
WriteWays Level 1 / Unit 1 (Adaptable Microsoft Word version)
WriteWays Level 1 / Unit 1 (Adaptable PDF version)
These resources are full colour versions, but they work just as well in grayscale printing and should photocopy with good clarity.
The first unit here works with the idea of introducing oneself in writing and using good basic punctuation skills for sentence clarity. The next unit (due for upload here on the blog sometime tomorrow) goes on to target basic paragraph formation.
Remember, however, that these are fully adaptable and you can rework or re-orient them in whatever way you feel best addresses the interests and needs of your learners.
If you have any questions about any of the material here, don't hesitate to get in touch through the comments section below!
Good luck, hope this gives you something to work with (or at least some new ideas to try).
