Students learn to:
- introduce their story using the techniques of Description and Dialogue,
- conclude their story using the techniques of Resolution of the problem and Moral of the story,
- describe their characters,
- use linking words to form good sentences.
Purposeful Composition Exercises: Stop, Think and Plan
There are 25 composition exercises. Each lesson starts with reading. The title of the model composition gives students an idea of what the story is about. Reading the model composition prepares them to generate ideas for their own compositions of the same or similar title and also strengthen their writing fundamentals throughout their school year. Some of them may seem a little challenging, but they are deliberately
written to serve as a reference for students to inspire them to new heights of creative writing.
Prompts provided here help students to think about what they want to add in their composition or how to link the information. Students can then begin to form ideas for their compositions.
