Topic:The writing process to develop team-based tasks

Objectives & Outcomes

• To understand the writing process and its application in team-based tasks
• To learn how to collaborate with teammates to generate a multimodal manifesto

Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers
• A collaborative team-based task (e.g. poster design, ad campaign, product launch)
• Writing prompts for brainstorming (optional)

Warm-up

• Begin the lesson by asking students to think about a time when they had to work with a team to complete a project. Ask them to share their experiences and what challenges they faced.
• Explain that today they will be learning about the writing process, which can be applied to team-based tasks to help them collaborate effectively.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the writing process, explaining that it is a series of steps that writers follow to create their work.
• Emphasize the importance of each step, explaining that each one contributes to the overall quality of the writing.
• Use the handouts to provide examples of each stage of the writing process.
• Ask students to brainstorm ideas for their multimodal writing task, using the notes from the warm-up activity as a starting point.

Guided Practice

• Divide the class into small groups and ask each group to brainstorm ideas for their multimodal writing task.
• As students brainstorm, have them write their ideas on post-it notes or small pieces of paper.
• Once students have brainstormed enough ideas, have them arrange the post-it notes or pieces of paper into a logical order, creating a rough draft of their task.
• Ask students to share their rough draft with the rest of the class, getting feedback and suggestions.

Independent Practice

• Have students work on their rough drafts individually or in small groups.
• As students work on their rough drafts, have them consider the different media and modes they could use to convey their ideas.
• Encourage students to use graphic organizers, visual aids, and other strategies to support their writing.

Closure

• Have students share their rough drafts with the class.
• Have students reflect on how they used different media and modes in their rough drafts.
• Ask students to share any challenges they faced and how they were able to overcome them.

Assessment

• Evaluate the effectiveness of each team's final multimodal writing manefesto based on the completeness and quality of their final product.
