Task 3: A Letter to the Principal

 

1. Go over a parent’s letter (LT 1.13) to the Principal. Focus on the purpose, content and language use. Highlight the format of a letter and remind pupils of the use of the structure ‘I suggest          ing …’ for making suggestions.

 
  2. Guide pupils to understand the overall structure of the letter:
Opening paragraph -  the aim of writing the letter
Main body -  favourite sports of the classmates
-  sports facilities available in the school
-  suggestions on the new sports facility to be built
Concluding paragraph -  asking the Principal to consider the suggestion

 
  3.

Tell pupils that they are going to write a letter to the Principal to make suggestions (LT 1.14). Brainstorm the content of the letter and help pupils organise the ideas with the help of a mind map. Guide them to refer to the information they have got in Task 1 and Task 2.


 
  4. Share-write the beginning of each paragraph with pupils. Have them finish the rest of the letter on their own. Give support and feedback if necessary.
