Beginner training plan
Your first lessonMy first lesson with a beginner is one where I talk with him to get a sense of what challenges him where writing is concerned. It is informal because I want to get as much insight as possible on how best to structure lessons to help him overcome perceived difficulties.
Lesson 2-3The second and third lessons are sample writing exercises to assess whether what I get from the informal first meeting is consistent with how the student executes the assessment. I would then provide feedback and present a plan of action to improve or enhance his writing.
Lesson 4-10A beginner’s fourth to tenth lesson and beyond would include techniques and tools drawn from being more aware and observant of things/ people they interact with daily. They will learn how best to harness them as ideas in creating dynamic and engaging writing pieces.
Lesson 11+The remaining lessons would include practicing different essay writing, giving assessment and providing feedback. This segment would also train the student to do more critical thinking, engaging their peers and others with meaningful dialog and become more aware of the written around him. These activities should create a path where his thoughts can be coherent, which translates to more ease in writing brilliant, stand-out-of -the-norm essays.
