The Write Recipe
Plan for Success
ENGLISH COMPOSITION PLAN? WHAT’S THAT?
Good writers plan. They think through what they want to write before they actually write.
Before writing a story, some good writers may write their plans down or draw a mind map.
Sometimes, they SEEM like they are not planning but actually, they already know what is necessary for a good English Composition (due to numerous practice!) and have formed a mental plan in their minds.
It all starts with a plan. With a good plan, half the battle is won before you even start writing.

“This is our first online course and I am so glad that Jovan had found it easy to follow and also enjoyed the learning as well! After the first few videos, I can already see that Jovan is able to apply some brainstorming tips (on the given pictures) while reading the questions. He is also engaged by the fun activities and games in the course. If you are hoping to have a better understanding of what are essential to think through in planning, this will be a course that I recommend.

Class Curriculum
Wondering how our video lessons are like?
“Shernice has tried several online learning programmes and courses before “The Write Recipe” and this is one of her favorites. The content is rich but not heavy. Mrs Chew is clear in her explanations and the fun activities and games kept her engaged throughout the lessons. In fact, she was so eager to continue the lessons on her own that she did so once she came home from school. The materials and resources given in the package are also useful to help Shernice plan her story. I am glad Shernice had enjoyed the course thoroughly!”
— Mrs Yeo Parent of Shernice Primary 5, PLMGS
