Writing essays doesn’t come overnight. It starts with writing sentences, then adding transition words and those 2-dollar vocab words. Have Fun Teaching has made a few exercises that help with the sentences part. Take this one for example, where students write 1-2 sentences about each season. This could very easily be transformed into an essay later, talking about the pros and cons of each season and ending with a nice conclusion about the writer’s favorite season. Why not give it a try?
