Hi there! πŸ‘¨πŸ»‍🏫

In a previous post, I shared a lesson plan specifically about some of the benefits of reading. In response to this activity, I was then referred by KΓ‘tia Falcomer to an article from Inc. on the benefits of writing, which served as my inspiration for this activity.

In this conversation lesson, students are given the opportunity to read about and discuss the potentially positive impact of writing on their mental health while practicing a summary completion task (similar to what you find in IELTS) and exploring some collocations from the reading.
