What Are Wikis? Editable website Multiple authors Different levels of security Track changes

Why Use Wikis? Collaborative Increase negotiation: noticing language

differences Access anywhere Provide platform for planned speech Editing and re-drafting helps focus on the

writing process.

What Is Scriptwriting? Students write their own words (and

sometimes actions) to dramatize. Students may write what they will say, the

cues for movement, and other scene-setting elements.

This can be as simple as a short dialogue or as long as a full-length play.

After students write their script, they can act it out.

Why Use Scriptwriting? Student-generated text may increase interest Helps students focus on register, adjacency

pairs, vocabulary in context, and fluency
