Group Work Dialogue for Brainstorming and Planning a Composition

Teacher: Alright, class, today we're going to work in groups to write about issues in our

immediate environment. Each group will select a topic, brainstorm ideas, and then plan and

organize your composition. Let’s get started!

Teacher: Please form groups of four. [Students form groups.]

Teacher: Each member of your group should suggest a topic related to an environmental

issue in our local area. You’ll then discuss these topics within your group and select one to

focus on.

[Students start suggesting topics.]

Student A: How about we write about the littering problem in our local park?

Student B: I think pollution in our nearby river is also a big issue.

Student C: What about traffic congestion near the school? It’s causing a lot of problems.

Student D: We could also discuss the shortage of recycling bins in our neighborhood.

Student A: Let’s discuss these topics.

Student B: I like the idea of the pollution in the river. It’s something we see happening a

lot.

Student C: I agree. The littering problem in the park is also important, but pollution might

have more immediate effects.

Student D: Okay, so it sounds like we’re leaning towards pollution in the river.

Student A: Yes, let’s choose that. Pollution in the river it is.

Teacher: Great! Write your selected topic on the board for everyone to see.

[Groups write their chosen topics on the board.]
