Tips for Note Writing
Sample writing task: Write a 60 word note to your pen pal about in which you describe your school and your schedule.
1. Describe your school.
2. Describe 3 classes you are taking (names).
3. Describe some things you have to do in each class.
4. Describe some materials you need to have for those classes and why (What are you going to use them for, in those classes?).
5. Compare your school with other schools: In size, in quality
Before you go all out to write your 60 word note, take a minute to plan! Here are the steps:
1. Write 5 words each on who, how, what, when, where, why, and some verbs.
Examples: Who: yo, mi hermana, mi profesora, la directora, la consejera
How: muy grande, más grande que, el/la más grande de todos/todas
What: la literatura, las matemáticas, las ciencias, la biología, el sujetapapeles
When: hoy, la primera hora, el mediodía, por la tarde, antes de la escuela, a las diez
Where: la clase de español, la cafetería, la oficina, la enfermería, el gimnasio
Why: para estudiar, para escribir, para dibujar, para hacer ejercicios, para contestar las preguntas, porque me gusta(n)
Verbs: estudiar, preguntar, contestar, sacar una buena/mala nota, tener, traer, conocer
Other useful words related to school:computadora, sujetapapeles, informe, etc.
2. Now you put it all together, one sentence at a time: Mi escuela es muy grande. You get the idea. Do about 10 sentences, and you will have a great composition! Give it a try!
Hmmmm.... Are those verbs giving you indigestion? What about trying this?
