1.2. Activities to improve critical skills 
Writing is one of the most difficult language skills because it involves the 
knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. It is no wonder that many learners find it 
very difficult to write one correct sentence. Writing skills are very important 
because students will need them outside the classroom. Therefore, it is very 
important for teachers to help their students master and develop effective writing 
skills.As teachers, we know for better that writing is demanding for all learners and 
it also puts an extra burden on our shoulders. It is a matter of fact time-consuming 
and exhausting. Teachers often try to ignore it because they don‘t want to carry 
stacks of students‘ papers home to correct. However, writing skills are 
fundamental, and teachers are left with no option other than to teach writing.

The answer is to make writing a fun activity that engages students. In the 
next post, I will share with you eight amazing writing activities that teachers can 
use in your classroom to help your stu
This is a group activity for students. 
Teachers divide the class into groups and jot down a prompt on the board, and then 
ask students to take a piece of paper and a pen. Teachers ask one student from each 
group to write something in one minute and then pass the paper to the next student 
in the same group to finish from where the first students stopped. The goal is to 
have students write a coherent story through teamwork.dents practice as much as 
they can and ultimately develop sound writing skills. 
In this writing activity, teachers only need to bring journals and colored 
pens. This is a great activity and students will definitely feel excited. The goal of 
the activity is to express self. Teachers tell students to write about anything they 
did yesterday or during the last week. Students can write about their daily routines, 
favorite movies, and hobbies. Students will be more than happy to write about 
themselves. They will even feel excited if you ask them to express their feelings. 
After writing, you ask students to exchange places and read their classmates‘ 
journals. 
This is another way to get students to write. Teachers can use index cards. 
Instead of assigning regular homework on a copybook, teachers can tell students 
use index cards to write about a funny story they want to share with classmates. 
Next session when they are in class, teachers collect the cards and randomly 
distribute them and ask students to read them. Teachers can design templates of 
stories with pictures and a few words distributed systematically throughout the 
story and ask students to use those words and the pictures to complete the story. 
This is a fun way to get students to write. Teachers will definitely be surprised of 
students‘ creativity and imagination. This is one of the funniest writing activities 
teachers can use with their students. At the beginning of the New Year, teachers 
ask students to write letters for their classmates in which they express their wishes. 
Students can exchange the letters among them. This really encourages students to 
write and learn new words to express themselves.
