Writing 3
Andrew Littlejohn
Cambridge University Press

Writing 3 places writing in a central place in the upper intermediate classroom, presenting it as an activity which contributes to language learning in general. The emphasis throughout the book is on encouraging learners to use English imaginatively and creatively to express their own ideas in writing and to communicate with each other in the classroom. The approach concentrates on writing as a process, with opportunities for drafting, rewriting and collaboration between students. It also encourages students to explore personal approaches to writing and develops different kinds of writing such as short stories, poetry, argument, formal and personal letters. A number of linked units allow a topic to be developed further through projects and mini-simulations.
