This document outlines the different phases and types of writing activities used in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context. It includes copying, doing exercises, guided writing, and free writing. Copying activities recognize letters and words. Exercises include dictation, completing sentences, and word association. Guided writing provides paragraph structure guidance through descriptions and pictures. Free writing allows more open-ended activities like debates, robot inventions, and weekend stories. The goal is to make writing relevant while adapting activities, providing feedback, and helping students enjoy the process.
