Problems with Writing Tasks
Poor Writing Topics (summer vacations)
NO Schemata for Paragraph or Essay
- ID of Paragraph = Topic Sentence
- ID of Essay = Thesis Statement
Writing Topics* Students usually wait for the summer vacations to rest
and have fun. Some go to the beach. Others spend their time in the mountains or even travel abroad.
Write a paragraph in which you describe a new place you visited. How was it? What did you do there?
(Graphic Organizer)
Write a 4-paragraph essay in which you argue with or against the law of banning smoking in public places in Lebanon.

Other Problems with WritingGrammar NOT integrated INTO Writing (Habits in the present Simple present)Poor explanation of Spelling rules in Elem (hid – hide / cut – cute / mad – made)Memorizing words visually (Dictation= NO Use of Listening to Write)* Memorizing sentences/paragraphs for
(official) exams destroy writing process Hanadi Mirza
