Writing is a complex skill to teach, and World Link
provides a step-by-step progression of tasks that helps students to build writing
skills. Lesson B of every unit of World Link contains a writing activity
that incorporates the theme, vocabulary, and structures of the unit. For each
activity, students have a model for their own writing. A variety of different
types of writing are included.
In the writing activities, students write a group of
sentences about a topic that personalizes the theme of the unit, relating it
to their own life and experiences. They then share their work with a another
student, and give reactions to what they read. This gives a communicative dimension
and a purpose to their writing.
