Essay writing has been the oldest trend to check students abilities and to measure the improvement in them. Many tutors considers essay writing a standard exercise to check what their students have learned throughout the year? Since, essay writing assignments has always sounds boring to students, we have helped the tutors to implement a few interesting methods in class rooms as a writing activity.
To make essay writing an interesting exercise, a few methods are jotted down for your ease.
To make students write, a tutor has to understand that mostly students fears of writing on academic writings so, try to make them write a few paragraphs on their favourite activities or interests. Their favourite T.V show, or any cartoon character will help them to write on it interestingly.
Make some small colourful cards and allow them to write any interesting topic on it, twist and shuffle the cards and allow them to take out any one of their choice. Ask them to write a few sentences on it first to let them brainstorm different ideas
For homework, ask them to bring newspaper cutting on any news story of their interest, and then make them write on it in the class the very next day, make them explain their viewpoints to other fellows as well.
Students are mostly interested in competitions; organise one such activity for your class work and arrange some small prizes for your students to create interest.
Another interesting way is to make them read or watch their favourite book or movie, and ask them to write about their favourite character or the moral of the story significantly.
Ensure your students that essay writing is not that boring; it is an effective way to communicate your thoughts and enhance your abilities of reading, researching, observing and writing.About the Author:
