 Creative Writing Activity for the ESL Classroom – Reactions Show your students something interesting or thought-provoking, and have them write a few sentences that either describe what you've shown them, or express what they think about what you've shown them. This activity can be a good regular warm-up to help students practice grammar you have already gone over in class. As your class goes on, you can prompt students to write more and more complex sentences. For example when you first introduce this activity, you might ask students to write something like, I like this song. I think the singer is cool. Then sometime later, you might ask students to write something like, I like this song because it's upbeat. I had never heard of it before but I want to listen to it again.
