Mission

I can write a story in English around 140 words

SE 1 Writing

Write a formal letter (formele brief) SE length: 100 minutes

Could be: 

- letter of complaint (klachtenbrief)

- asking for information (informatie aanvraag)

- letter of application (sollicitatiebrief)

Creative writing

Just to get you started and thinking about how to: 

- use your grammar

- use your vocabulary

- use your imagination

Over to you

Write half sentences

Je schrijft een ideale brief als deze bestaat uit:

1) inleiding

2) kern

3) stel de vragen die je hebt

4) slot 

Schrijf steeds een halve zin

In other words... let me help you

Finish the story together

1) First choose one of these starters:

- "As soon as I woke up....."

- "Ana was walking to school when suddenly....."

- The teacher came into class with a ...."

Finish the story together

2) Then one of you writes the ending to the sentence you chose

For example: 

- As soon as I woke up I realised I was late

- Ana was walking to school when suddenly her phone rang

- The teacher came into class with a strange look on his face

Finish the story together

3) The other one starts the next sentence and the first one finishes that sentences

and so on..... 

Rules

- work together on the sentences and the story

- the story needs to have a good start, middle section and ending

- use approximately (ongeveer) 140 words in total

GOOD LUCK!!!
