improving writing
 
Hi!
I �ve finally came up with ideas for my 17 yo student to improve his writing. I �ve tried brainstorms, but he �s too shy and lacks confidence, so I decided to give him what I learnt to be "guided writing" exercises. The thing is... I don �t have the time to make the worksheets myself, and I don �t know where to find examples or worksheets containing these exercises:
 
Embed sentences
Finish sentences
dictogloss
a story from pictures
delayed copying phrases
adding details
speedwriting
 
I hope you can help and maybe help some other teacher too!
Lots of love
