TEXT
Make a Group Text
Method:
1.
Stage 2.1 First Draft – Initial Ideas:
Explain that the whole group is going to write a shared text with 8 sentences on the board, which includes
an agreed number of vocabulary words and phrases. T states or elicits a text type, e.g. an informal email. A
SS from one team comes up and writes their sentence at the top of the board. A student from another
group comes up and writes the next, and this continues until there are 8 sentences and SS from each group
have participated. As they write, all of the other SS have to copy the text into their notebooks. Other SS
can call out with suggestions and corrections. T must stay out of it. T does not try to correct their work. If
SS ask for help, T says, “Sorry, I can’t help you at the moment.” By the end of this stage, SS have created
the first draft of the text. One SS reads it aloud.
Variation: each sentence has to begin (or end) with one of the 8 chosen words.

Stage 2.2 Second Draft – Corrections:
T asks: “Can you see any errors?” T elicits a few from the text. SS work in their teams and analyse the text
for errors: grammar, spelling, and pronunciation. After a few minutes, T elicits the errors from the whole
group, helping if SS really can’t see some of the errors, and corrects the text on the board (or a SS could do
this), until the text is completely correct. SS should also correct the text in their notebooks, so that every
SS has the same corrected second draft text written down.

Stage 2.3 Third Draft – Improvements:
T congratulates the group: “Good! The text is correct; it’s good, but can it be improved? How can we
