A fun culminating task to work towards! Applying writing skills to a real-world situation.
Hi, my name is Winny! I am on a mission to share Ready To Use Resources to help you develop motivated, self-directed and lifelong learners. My aim is to help students develop the skills to become great writers and for them to apply these skills in creative ways.
This is why I have created the Ms Tang Challenge! The goal is to provide students with an opportunity to apply their learnt skills to a real-world situation.
Persuasive Writing Challenge
The Ms Tang Challenge: After learning how to write a persuasive text, students apply their skills in a real-world situation.
Students think of a person or a group of people they would like to persuade. They then use their learnt skills to write a persuasive letter, speech, brochure, news article, advertisement etc.
Ms Tang Challenge Reward: send an example of how your students have applied their persuasive skills into a real-world situation. I will film a special YouTube video for your class with positive feedback and encourage them to keep up the great writing!
Include a description of: who your students were trying to persuade and how it went!
If you’d like to participate in this challenge, you can share the slides/PDF of this challenge with your class so they have a fun culminating task to work towards! You can submit your Ms Tang Challenges here.
Informative Writing Challenge
The Ms Tang Challenge: After learning how to write an informative text, students apply their skills in a real-world situation.
Students think of a person or a group of people they would like to inform. They then use and apply what they have learnt in a real-world situation (e.g. in a magazine, book, news article, video, presentation, poster, quiz etc.)
Ms Tang Challenge Reward: send an example of how your students have applied their informative writing skills into a real-world situation. I will film a special YouTube video for your class with positive feedback and encourage them to keep up the great writing!
