Writing Idea

To encourage higher level students to add complexity to their writing, write this sentence on the board: A BOY WALKED DOWN THE STREET. The competition (in pairs, for example) is to see who can make the longest sentence by adding as many words as they can to the sentence. So one sentence could be: 'A fair-haired, blue-eyed American boy walked quickly and confidently down the narrow, winding street'. This activity can also come just before or just after work on adjective order.
