TRANSCRIPT
The teaching procedures in
Independent Writer Project
Before the writing tasks, students are asked to do a lot of e-
reading.
During writing, teachers will teach students how to draw
mind maps, sequence ideas and develop ideas into
sentences and paragraphs.
On finishing every task, teachers will share, discuss, do
peer-editing and display students’ good writings to
encourage and sustain students’ confidence in writing.
Writing Tasks in P.1
Myself
Me and my School Bag
Me and my Classroom
Me and my Favourite Animal

Themes closely related to
students’ daily life help
raise students’ writing
interests. We add new
topics to the cyclic writing
theme ‘Me’ to help student
use or re-cycle the
vocabulary and language
structures learnt. It helps to
build up their writing
competence.
1st Writing Task – Myself
All target vocabulary and sentence structures in the 1st unit
are included in the mind map.
2nd Writing Task – Me and my School BagBy adding on the
new writing topic
‘My School Bag’, we
recycle the ‘Me’

3rd Writing Task – Me and ClassroomThe writing theme
‘Me’ is recurred with
the new writing

We give students
autonomy to add

them a sense of
ownership to their
writings.
