And Now? Now Comment!

Writing is not always students' favourite activity in classes and I often find that sometimes it is just more beneficial to set writing for an out of class activity. Why? Because learners find more head space to write when they focus on the topic and skill in their own time. Out of class can also be taking learners to a different learning space - the library, for instance, where they can (hopefully) sit where they would like to and get on with the writing task at hand. Libraries are usually wonderful places where students can dwell on words and worlds, while in quiet, gather their thoughts.
