The six steps of the writing process When we write we do more than just put words together to make sentences. Good writers go through several steps to produce a piece of writing. PRE-WRITING (THE PLANNING IN THREE PARAGRAPHS ) Choose a topic: (elige el tema que te resulte más fácil de desarrollar) Gather ideas: When you have a topic, think about what you will write about that topic (decide que vas decir sobre el tema). Organise: Decide which of the ideas you want to use end where you want to use them. Choose which idea to talk about first , which to talk next and which to tal about last. (Piensa que vas a decir en cada párrafo, lo que vas a poner primero, segundo, etc. DRAFTING Write :   Write your paragraph or essay from start to finish. Use your notes about your ideas and organisation. REVIEWING AND REVISING (EDITING 1) Review structure and content: Check what you have written. Read your writing silently to yourself or aloud, perhaps to a friend.

2º AMPLIACIÓN UNIT 6 VIDEO WATCHING FROM THIS BLOG "TIPS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE" (We have played twice.) WHAT´S UP HEALTH PROBLEMS: VOCABULARY SB, page 34 1º BACHILLERATO 3/4 After yesterday´s explanation we have done some classwork,  WB, pages 30-31, exercises 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 ( the last ones were done but not corrected, though I am considering to have an exercise similar in the next text) It is a very talkative large class, with them I go very slowly. The lessons are painfully slow because of the constant interruptions and the noise of their chatter and they usually have very little interest  or attention during the explanations and corrections. Bad attitude (like trolls) today as every Friday. Planning of the following week 13th January: Homework, WB: unit 3, pages 20 to 23 ( both included) we are having the exercises  corrected. 15th January  Reader´s test 16th January Listening activities from SB & WB or simila

I thought you said you wouldn´t be there the following week. I thought you said you couln´t afford a holiday that year. This structure is quite useful if you want to check the information you have. QUESTIONS: The  journalist asked what had caused the explosion. Tom asked if Bill had passed his examination. She asked us where we had played the previous Sunday. Jim asked Ann if she would be there the following week. The teacher asked me what I was doing with my mobile. QUESTIONS EXERCISE 1 She asked where her umbrella was. Martin asked us how we were.

All these exercises and the homework page should be REVISED . HOMEWORK: WB, PAGE 29 Next day we will complete a paper on complex sentences INCLUDING gramar points studied in units 1, 2 and 3. My idea is showing the students how I am asking these topics in the evaluation text. I have also encourage them to draw a summary/scheme of unit 3 linkers of constrast, purpose, reason and result.                                                              COMPLEX SENTENCES  (AFTER READING THE GRAMMAR APPENDIX, SB PAGES 119-120) A complex sentence is made up of a simple sentence (a complete statement or a definite clause) and a statement that begins with a dependent word, linking word, connector or conjunction.
