Download or read book Jigsaw Reading and Writing Activities written by John N. Sivell and published by Full Blast Productions. This book was released on 1993 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reproducible activities kit emphasises academic reading, writing and discussion skills. The target audience for these materials is adult or young-adult students in high school, college, or college/university entrance courses. It has been devised to give students the chance to think, talk and write about real life topics. The book is structured in three units, each individual unit has four jigsaw parts, which are used first for reading and discussion and then, when they are thoroughly familiar to students, as examples for analysis and imitation in the process of improving writing skills. The book concentrates on realistic writing, not just exercises. There are drills and practice on specific language points, but only in preparation for much freer writing activities. The main thing is for students to develop their own arguments about subjects that matter. Includes an extensive Teacher's Notes on how to exploit the materials.
