What is Essay Lab for and about?

"Somewhere in the educational scheme there must be encouragement for the dreams and imaginings of youth."

I would like to use this blog to encourage my pupils to write in English using all their creativity, imagination and skills! I have set the following plan: a word - a sentence - a paragraph - an essay. It means we could start playing with words, synonyms, antonyms, etc. Then we could work a bit more on sentence building, enriching it with different parts, etc. After that we will move to paragraph writing and we could finish with different essays.

Every week I will give you several tasks, you are absolutely free to choose which ones to do. Every task will be put in a separate article, you will write your answers in the comments.

The most important rule will be as follows:

Do not be afraid to make mistakes (nobody is going to give marks) but feel free to comment your friends' work and encourage each other!
