This From Speaking to Writing essay lesson takes your students from a lively discussion about Facebook to writing an essay about it. Students will discuss their thoughts on the benefits and drawbacks of social networks, learn topic vocabulary and read an article about it. The teacher's notes include essay plans and links to additional materials. The product (3-page student handout plus 2 pages of teacher's notes) was created by Bourne4EFL and has been tested by dozens of students in the classroom.
