I am teaching a writing class that is supposed to get students ready for the 10th grade writing test in the spring. We are only three weeks in and I am going crazy! We have to teach them to write a five paragraph essay, grammar, and vocabulary everyday. It is getting really boring, and even I am bored. I have tried searching for ideas on the internet or grammar games, anything to get the students to do something interactive. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I need to do something to mix it up or it's going to be a long semester...
