Line by Line

Writing exercises are not supposed to develop communicative skills, so students usually do them on their own, while doing exercises together is more interesting for students. Let's try to involve the whole class into writing and see if it works out.

1. Each student has a sheet of paper, at the top of which he or she writes a sentences containing new word.
2. The paper is folded, so that all previous contributions excepting the last one are invisible to each writer.
3. This is the passed to a neighbor, who adds an answer, comment or further question with another new word and passes it on to someone else. And so on.
4. After about five contributions, students are invited to read out the results.
