Suggestions for English Language Learners:                   

ESL Ideas      (B=Beginning, I=Intermediate, T=Transitional)
(B, I) Students organize a how-to-do paragraph in chronological order by using a simple recipe that is common in their culture such as “how to make a tortilla.”
(I, T) Using informational books and operating manuals, students organize a descriptive paragraph in correct operational order. Students can act-out the sequence of the operation. Example: “first, put the cassette into the player, then....”
(I, T) In pairs, students write a story with dialogue by rewriting scrambled paragraphs provided by the teacher. Students then evaluate the written stories.
