Composition Activities Make Writing Fun
Some kids just love composition. You will find them trying to compose a poem or story whenever they can. They’re the ones sitting on the bench during recess with a pencil and paper in hand and a faraway look in their eyes. They’re not the problem. Then there are kids who despise writing. They have a hard time composing a creative piece and find the rules of writing difficult to follow. Composition activities are just what they need. Instead of making composition seem like a boring task at school, composition activities get students writing in response to a fun situation. This puts the writer in a good mood and is a great way to provide extra writing practice – the one step guaranteed to make a person better at composition! Use the free composition activities available online to make writing enjoyable for the entire class!
