Writing expression and interaction: A DIARY

“A man’s mistakes are his portals of discovery.” James Joyce

Hello, my readers!

Welcome to a new post dedicated to enhance your students' writing skills. As the TU "Lost in the States" is focused on a trip to America, and sometimes when travelling plan do not occur as expected (though you had checked the map, asked the locals, etc.), I thought that writing a diary can be a good manner of keeping record of their "daily adventures and feelings". This will be explained also in class. 

This task contains three core sections: 

• Include the full date, how’s the weather like, and your exact geographical location (state and village/city) every day on top of your diary page.
• Describe how your day has been or would have been using the 3rd Conditional as much as possible.
• Draw a box containing a new idiom and two phrasal verbs learnt each day. You must explain the idiom meaning in your own words, and include the PhVbs within two logical sentences. 

In order to introduce idioms in the ESL classroom, I have designed a dynamic short presentation using the powerful resource called PowToon.

Should you need any further clarification, you could watch a PechaKucha video I have recorded myself. It is available on my YouTube Channel, you can access from my blog following these instructions: Click on the page VIDEOS, and then on the IMAGE you will find there. 

Also, I would be glad to answer your comments or e-mails.

Have a wonderful day you all!
