4.After we finish the format, we will go to the main body part. And I divide them into groups of 4 to have a discussion about the information that they want to convey in the email. And then they will have 5 minutes to redo the information that they have chosen. During this section, they need to figure out:
First, the writing order about the email. For example, they need to decide if they want to begin with the history then traditions or otherwise.
Second, how to polish the expressions, like “It has long history and it is traditional” from the pre-writing part. For example, they can reorganize the sentences as Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival with long history, etc.
Step 3 While-writing (5 minutes)
First, ask them to write a main body of the email.
While writing, I will ask them to pay more attention to the spelling, grammar, and the logic of sentences.
Next, ask them to put the main part into an email format. Step 4 Post-writing (3 minutes)
After they finished the writing, I will ask them to modify their drafts by themselves, and then exchange their draft to do the pair editing.
Then I will ask some students to read their emails to us, and let them give some suggestions together.
Step 5 Summary and homework (1 minute)
