Game teaching guide

What children will practise

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, an ordering game with four steps each - Essay: introduction > first part of body > second part of body > conclusion - Letter: address and date > salutation > body > sign-off and signature - Report: choose the topic > research > set it out in paragraphs > check and cite - Paragraph: Reading does a great deal of good > ... > So we should read every day

How to use it in class

Play it just before children write a real letter or essay, so they see the outline first. About 6 minutes; team play works best since ordering invites discussion. After question 2, project a sample letter and point to each part. In question 4, have children notice จึง, the word that marks the concluding sentence. You can link it to a class and record it in the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Question 2: putting the salutation before address and date, since greetings come first in speech. Show a real letter with the address at top right. - Question 4: swapping the two middle sentences, which still makes sense but the game accepts one order. Say that the middle reasons could swap in real writing. - Question 3: putting check and cite before setting it out, thinking sources come first. - Question 1: the first and second parts of the body carry no content cue, so a child who swaps them has not misunderstood. If the introduction is first and the conclusion last, count the essay outline as understood.
