I'm hoping that someone can help me with this really quickly.

I heard today that I had to do a Teaching demonstration for my university interview tomorrow evening.

It was supposed to be conversation only but then I got a call to add the Writing portion too.

I've never taught writing formally ( 3 years in a hogwan) and it's only 20 minutes.

What should I include, what should I not waste too much time on.
There are so many aspects of writing to focus on that I don't know which way to go.

Help please

If you've only got 20 minutes for the whole thing there isn't much you can do with writing.

How about having your discussion portion of the class, then very briefly review Yes-No question forms and Wh-question forms and have the students write one of each type of question about the discussion?

Intro: what is essay writing? Perhaps emphasize standards of academic English, genres, essay styles, etc.

Thanks very much for the ideas.

I did also think about concentrating on essays and a general "How to" and the different parts of an essay.

The limited time is a problem though so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks again.
