 Activity 7: This is my life!
Orientações práticas de aplicação dessa atividade

This activity aims at helping students practice one important ability: writing. Help and guide
students through the activity, for this is an exercise many students have a tough time with, even
in their mother language. Start the activity by asking those basic questions: Who is writing? For
whom? What is the goal of the writer? Etc. It is fundamental to show them the importance of
writing: communicating ideas to everybody! It is also mandatory to establish a friendly and nice
environment for it, showing them writing is not so difficult as they think it is, and that it can also be
fun! Tell them now it is time for them to write their own blog! To do so, they first need to read and
follow the steps (if necessary, help them with Portuguese translation) in the website. There are
also some other resources (images, for instance) that can make up for their limited repertoire.
There will also be a model for them which will work as a pre-writing activity.
