Link: Materials for Describing a Process

I was doing a Google Image search for materials for describing a process, and found useful diagrams on two websites here and here.

I've put them on a Google slideshow presentations (slides, pub) and on a Google Doc (docs, pub).  I've also included an activity in on the Google document in which the steps are cut up, and then shuffled, and the students have to put them in order.
These diagrams are suitable for Writing IELTS Task 1 -- describe a process, or for practice with the present passive.

Line Graphs for Practicing IELTS Writing Task 1

Google: slides, pub
[Notes: None of these are my own.  All of them were found using a Google Images search.  In my own classes, I use these for practicing talking about the features of line graphs.  (I use this as a follow up to my Useful Language for Describing Changes in a Line Graph activity).  I print out the Google slides and hand them out to students.  They describe their graphs to a partner.  Then I put it on the slideshow at the front, and some students come up to describe their graphs to the class.]

IELTS Task 1 Process Writing--2nd Teacher Feedback Form

(TESOL Worksheets--IELTS Task 1)

Google: drive, docs, pub

This is the 4th in my series in my attempts to turn IELTS task 1 writing into process writing.  It follows from the self-editing checklist, and the peer-editing checklist, and the 1st teacher feedback form.

In the first teacher feedback from, I provided very little feedback.  (I only underlined problem sentences, and did not provide any detailed written comments).  In this feedback form, I used my error coding sheet (from here) and also provided more detailed comments in the comment  section.  I also supplemented this with a short talk with each student.

The students were then instructed to re-write their essay one final time for a final draft.
