Parallel Writing
Students work with a story and then write their own on a similar/same topic.
Parallel writing can best be described as rewriting with different basic information.

Collaborative Writing
Writing Consequences
www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/writing-consequences
Each student adds one stage to the story then folds
the paper to cover the information and passes the
paper to the student on the right. The end result is a
mixed-up story that can often be amusing.
Two or more people jointly composing a text, contributing components to it
and participating in modifying, editing and/or reviewing the document.
The writing process becomes a recursive task, where each change
prompts others to make more changes.

a lamb to the slaughter, they do it without knowing
that something bad is going to happen and therefore

Her first instinct was not to believe any of it, to reject it all. It occurred to her that
perhaps he hadn't even spoken, that she herself had imagined the whole thing. Maybe, if
she went about her business and acted as though she hadn't been listening, then later,
when she sort of woke up again, she might find none of it had ever happened.
"I'll get the supper," she managed to whisper, and this time he didn't stop her.
When she walked across the room she couldn't feel her feet touching the floor. She
couldn't feel anything at all except a slight nausea and a desire to vomit. Everything was
automatic now down the steps to the cellar, the light switch, the deep freeze, the hand
inside the cabinet taking hold of the first object it met. She lifted it out, and looked at it.
It was wrapped in paper, so she took off the paper and looked at it again.
A leg of lamb.
All right then, they would have lamb for supper. She carried it upstairs, holding the thin
bone end of it with both her hands, and as she went through the living room,
she saw him standing over by the window with his back to her, and she stopped.

Summer Camp job application
Dear Mr/Madam,
I am writing in relation to the job advertisement for coordinator, which appeared in the local
newspaper I read this morning. I am twenty-four years old and I am studying organisation of events
at college.
I think I am the right person for the job because I have the skills and the ability to deal with groups
of different ages. As far as children are concerned, they are going to feel free to have fun and
spend enjoyable moments but at the same time they will be ready to obey they coordinator. I
made a seven-month course based on helping, taking care and leading groups. What is more, I
have some experience of working as a group leader. I am very reliable and I get on well with
people.
I would be available hole week from January to February. Then, from March to May, I will only be
available from Monday to Friday. At that time I will be doing a part-time job so I will not be here
during the weekend. I have no experience of working full-time but I have had summer jobs.
I am looking forward to your reply. I can be contacted at the above address or by mail at
anna@outlive.com.
Yours faithfully,
Anna

“The new education must teach the individual how to classify
and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to
change categories when necessary, how to move from the
concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from
a new direction—how to teach himself.
”Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read;
he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.“

Be creative!
The gap between the skills people learn and the skills people need is becoming more obvious, as traditional learning falls short of equipping students with the knowledge they need to thrive, according to the World Economic Forum reportNew Vision for Education: Fostering Social and Emotional Learning Through Technology.
Today's job candidates must be able to collaborate, communicate and solve problems – skills developed mainly through social and emotional learning (SEL). Combined with traditional skills, this social and emotional proficiency will equip students to succeed in the evolving digital economy.
What skills will be needed most?
An analysis of 213 studies showed that students who received SEL instruction had achievement scores that averaged 11 percentile points higher than those who did not. And SEL potentially leads to long-term benefits such as higher rates of employment and educational fulfillment.
Good leadership skills as well as curiosity are also important for students to learn for their future jobs.
Another Forum report, The Future of Jobs, launched during the Annual Meeting 2016 in Davos, looked at the employment, skills and workforce strategy for the future.
The report asked chief human resources and strategy officers from leading global employers what the current shifts mean, specifically for employment, skills and recruitment across industries and geographies.
