Writing is important. As important as reading and speaking. The materials could be from anywhere: experience, observation, even from a picture. Yes! Each person has his own assumption about a picture. A boy can “translate” a picture into his own story and could be different with other boys. But, sometimes, writing is recognized as a boring activity. So, to reduce it we need to make “a good idea”. What is that? See the picture below:
From those various pictures, you can ask for your students to make a composition. But, remember, the pictures given should be unique to stimulate them. Or, you can be more creative by asking your students to take photograph from their surrounding. Ask them to take “strange” photo with digital camera or camera on cell phone. Then, ask them to describe the photograph on a piece of paper (why they choose the photograph, what is the meaning of the photograph, etc.). The best description (or the best picture) should be given a reward.
