My students have started to write their first essays today. Let me give some background about the writing process:
-
I suggested them some social justice topics and asked them find a real-life event about one of the topics they prefer.
-
They found great pieces of news around the world and prepared an outline of the event.
-
They shared their outline with me through our shared Google Drive folder, and I gave feedback on the outlines.
-
They revised their outlines and brought them to the class.
As you see, they are working hard to write an essay based on their outlines. I am very excited for them. They have chosen really effective social justice topics and I believe they will have a very useful writing process on them.
