1. Prewriting
Brainstorming and Clustering:
Ask learners to brainstorm the purpose of their letter and the key points they want to
include. Use clustering/webbing to organize ideas. Draw a circle in the center labeled
"Formal Letter." Branch out with key ideas such as "Purpose," "Recipient," "Main
Points," "Supporting Details."

Where will the letter be sent?
When is the letter being written?
Why is this letter necessary?

What is the purpose of this letter?
Who is the audience?
What are the main points?
What details support these points?
How can the letter begin and end effectively?
3. Revising
Content and Structure Improvement:
Use the ARRR method (Adding, Rearranging, Removing, Replacing) to refine drafts.
Peer Revision: Have learners exchange letters and provide feedback using questions
like:
Are the main points clear?
Is the structure logical?
Are there any irrelevant details?
Read Around Group (RAG):
Form small groups where learners read each other's drafts and suggest improvements.
4. Editing
Mechanical Errors:
Focus on correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Provide a checklist for learners to ensure they review all aspects of their writing.
Encourage pairs or groups to proofread each other's work.
5. Publishing
Finalizing and Sharing:
Have learners create the final copy of their formal letter.
Encourage learners to read their letters aloud to the class, publish them in a class
book, or display them on a bulletin board.
