EFL - ESL - ELD Handouts

Writing a story can be so overwhelming! I have come with this writing pack that is intended to help your students organize their ideas before writing their first draft. This step-by-step activity groups every aspect of story writing such as: genre, setting, characters, details, etc. It also helps the students with their descriptive writing by asking them targeted questions. This is an excellent tool for beginner writers, struggling writers, or English Language learners.

Use the “Writing Buddy” handout on my TeachShare store along with this resource and your students can become more independent when writing a short story.

You can use these resources for several days, giving students a chance to think through while writing their first draft.

Really easy to use. Just print, hole punch, staple and go!

Thank you!

Creating if-then statements is a common aspect of your mother tongue, and incorporating them into your English discussions can greatly enhance your communication skills. In total, there are four conditionals that you will gradually learn to use, beginning with the most basic ones: the zero and first conditional. Take a glance at this overview to get a general understanding of how all conditionals function and when to apply them.

A sentence with a condition relies on the word 'if'. Conditional sentences consist of two parts - the first part starts with 'if' to depict a potential scenario, while the second part explains the result. Input: "The company experienced a significant decrease in profits due to the economic downturn."

Paraphrased: "The economic downturn led to a large decrease in profits for the company."

If it starts raining, we will become soaked.

The meaning remains the same even when the two parts are switched.

Check out this practical ebook guide to find out how the conditionals are form, when and how they are used, and plenty of practice for your students.
