We started by reading this short biographical text about Brad Pitt (download the Word file here), by the far the best actor in the world when it comes to playing characters who look like Brad Pitt. Anyway, the tasks were simple...First, having read the text, guess - without looking at it - the number of paragraphs (very easy I know), sentences (more difficult), and words. The point is just to think about structures of English sentences and paragraphs.
Secondly, with the text covered, we used the simple prompts to re-write the whole biography. Comparing the reconstruction with the original text allowed us to look for areas of English writing we needed to spend more time thinking about.
