Daily Writing Prompts Booklet 4 - Simple writing tasks for EAL learners!

This PDF document contains 5 short writing templates for beginner English students learning to write their own short compositions. I made these for my 3rd grade EFL students, who are able to read simple storybooks and can spell 1st and 2nd grade sight words, but struggle with writing in complete sentences, and are complete beginners to writing passages. I briefly explain the writing topic for the day, which we discuss orally, then I write any difficult to spell vocabulary words up on the board according to what we discuss orally. I can then allow the students to get on with writing their passage themselves.

This is the 4th booklet we have used, with more to come. The topics get progressively more difficult, allowing students to practice different vocabulary and sentence structures, with more and more freedom to compose what they want to express independently.

Topics in Booklet 4:

• My Best Friend - Describing appearance and personality
• My Dream House - Rooms and types of houses
• Favourite Animals - Describing animals, what they can do and their habitats
• My Favourite Meal - Cuisines, tastes, starters, mains, desserts, side-dishes and drinks
• What Scares Me - Explaining what we find scary, and using “I used to be…” expression.

Document is 3 A4 pages, which can be cut in half to make a 5 page A5 booklet with a cover page.

I am making more of these to use with my class at the moment, so if you enjoy the product, please leave a review and let me know which topics you’d like to cover in the next upload!
