Say Then Write

1. 1 Begin by asking students a simple question, such as 'What do you like to do after school?'
2. 2 Model a short spoken answer so students understand the task.
3. 3 Put students into pairs and ask them to share their answers orally.
4. 4 Encourage them to speak in full sentences and listen to each other carefully.
5. 5 After speaking, ask students to write one or two of their sentences.
6. 6 Support students by repeating useful phrases or sentence patterns.
7. 7 Invite a few students to read their written sentences aloud.
8. 8 Finish by highlighting how speaking first helped make writing easier.
