2. THE MATERIALS MUST SPECIFY ON LANGUAGE
ELEMENTS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE TACKLED IN
THE WRITING TASKS.
GRAMMAR, SENTENCE STRUCTURES OR TENSES
CAN BE CAREFULLY INCLUDED IN THE
MATERIALS, WHERE BOTH TEACHER AND THE
STUDENTS CAN BENEFIT FROM THEM.

3. IS IT JUST WRIITNG?
THE MATERIALS MUST CAREFULLY STATE THE
SKILLS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A
PARTICULAR PIECE OF WRITING.
SKILLS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER WRITING
SHOULD BE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL IN THE CHOSEN
MATERIALS.
STUDENTS WOULD HAVE AN IDEA ON WHAT TO BE
EXPECTED FROM THEIR WRITING.

4.  MATERIALS THAT RING IN HARMONY WITH STUDENTS’
INTEREST COULD FURTHER HELP IN THEIR WRITING
PROCESS.
 RECENT TOPICS SUCH AS TECHNOLOGY, CURRENT
SOCIETAL ISSUES ETC COULD BE CONSIDERED AS THE
MUST-DO TOPICS FOR WRITING.
 TEACHERS CAN EXPECT HIGHER RATE OF ENGAGEMENT
SINCE THE STUDENTS CAN RELATE THE MATERIAL TO
THEIR ENVIRONMENT INSTANTLY.

5.  THE CHOSEN MATERIAL MUST BE CONSIDERED IN TERMS
OF ITS ABILITY TO BE ASSESSED.
 THE TEACHER SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A RUBRIC
THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL SKILLS AND CONTENT RELATED
TO THE TOPIC.
 THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PREDICT ON WHAT TO
BE EXPECTED FROM THEIR WRITINGS.
