Idea — Planning before writing improves coherence and reduces mid-draft paralysis. Teaching learners to plan is itself a productive-skill lesson.
Example — A mind map, a bullet-point list, or a paragraph-by-paragraph outline — any visible structure before drafting helps.
Try — Before a writing task, give learners five minutes to create a plan in any format. Then write. Compare quality with an unplanned attempt.
