Writing

A. Engage yourself
Do you know what "brainstorming" is? Brainstorming is one of the ways of
generating information before we write something. It is the random generation
of ideas based around a topic. There is no editing or ordering of these ideas. It
is a way to think of new ideas. Brainstorming means you write every idea that
is in your head (your brain). When you brainstorm, you write all your ideas
and all the words you can think of about a topic. Do not say "This idea is a bad
idea." When you are brainstorming, all ideas are good ideas. You do not write
complete sentences when you brainstorm. You just write words or phrases.
CDC

B. Time for writing
Brainstorm on the topic "Memorable Experience of my Life" and gather
as much information as you can on the topic. Then write a couple of
paragraphs on the same topic elaborating the idea that you have
generated. Revise and edit your writing, and prepare its ¿ nal version.
C. Follow-up activity

Work in a pair. Exchange your ¿nal writing as done in the 'Time for

writing' section with your partner and provide and receive feedback on
your writing.
