Warm up students' writing skills (and muscles) with this energizing teacher resource of activities and photocopiable exercise sheets. Designed to sensitize English learners to the process of writing before their first compositions go down on paper, these 70 activities introduce such writing concepts as audience, purpose, point of view, focus, classification, sequence, cause and effect, and comparison and contrast. Every activity has easy-to-follow teacher notes and minimal preparation for the teacher. An answer key is included. These activities will be welcomed by teachers of English in secondary, university, and adult education settings, at an intermediate or higher level. They're truly a fun "workout room" for getting English learners' writing skills "in shape."
