I always have the same problem in all my classes The problem why they get bored is because they are inefficent in English. So I am trying to ease writing activity. In one of my sessions, ( the subject was present simple tense) the course book asked the students write a paragraf telling their daily routines. ı made up a paragraf ( some info was missing) and asked them to complete them. (not as a grammar activity as fill in the blanks with the correct form of the bla bla bla)
for example
................. gets up at ...... o �clock every morning. She/ he goes to ................ by ............
she/he starts ............................. at ............. o �clock. She has lunch at ................ at 12 oclock
and so on ...
in the first session they completed the paragraf as ever they wanted and read it in the classroom.The second session I asked them to write another paragraf about their own daily routines by themselves. Some of them coppied from the previous paragraf but most of them could easily write their own paragraf because they were familiar with the task.
ı wish this will be helpful
