Learn how to teach beginning essay writing to children
There are a few ways that you can do this activity. The first way is to create a list of questions and have your students answer them. I like to create a piece of paper with a space on top to draw and lines below where they can write. Here are some example questions. You can adjust these to suit their level or age.
- What's your name?
- How old are you?
- What school do you go to?
- What grade are you in?
- Do you have a brother or sister?
- Where do you live?
- What can/can't you do?
- What's your favorite color?
- What do you like/don't like?
For the lower levels create an easier cloze like activity.
My ____ is ____. I'm ____ years ____. I have one older ____. ___ is ____ years old. I go to ____ elementary school. I'm in the ____ grade. I live in _____. Etc.
