Default Re: Any ideas in teaching writing?

Hi Hatini,
I too am teaching in a rural area. I teach in a middle school but they have extremely basic English skills.
Do you have access to computers? You could consider having your students starting a class blog. I am thinking of doing this with mine just for a lighter activity to motivate them to write during the Winter camp. We are going to publish a classroom blog. The best writing from each day will be published and we'll take pictures too: lots and lots of pictures. Since the writing will be so few.
I think the students would enjoy seeing their work on the internet. And, their parents and friends might see it, which would give them extra incentive.
