MBMMBI writing project

The MBMMBI course intends to improve the teachers' pedagogical techniques. Below are the exercises that we had to prepare for the Writing Course.

Exercise 1: Controlled Writing
Def: All the writing your pupils do for which a great deal of the content and / or form is supplied. Its is characterized by maximal teacher input and minimal pupil input.


1. What did Anisa do last night?

2. What did her mother ask her to do?

3. What happened to her next day?

4. What time did she wake up?

5. Where did she wait for the bus?

6. What happened to Anisa when she arrived there?

7. What did she do after that?

8. What did the mother do to her?

9. How did Anisa feel?

10. What did Anisa learn from the incident?


Exercise 2: Guided Writing
Def: An extension of controlled composition. It is less controlled that controlled composition in that it gives pupils some of the content and form of the sentences they will use.
