Pick 'n Mix writing task

Submitted by Ruth North on 20 June 2017.

I’m using this activity to give learners a writing frame for a piece of creative writing. I want them to really think about purpose of text when they are creating it, so they have to pick the format, style and tone of their work and plan it out.
