B2 writing lesson for learners aged 16-18, with differentiated support, peer feedback and a practical communicative writing task.

Learners write a clear and kind reply to a friend’s suggestion, saying no while giving a reason and suggesting an alternative. The lesson develops the ability to organise a message around four clear functions: something positive, the decision, a reason and another idea.

After a short self-check, learners choose the level of support they need: a model-supported route, a planning route or a more independent writing route with an additional register-changing task. Learners can use the Model card at any time if they need extra support.

The main task is an 80-100 word reply. Learners then swap texts, read from the recipient’s perspective and give focused peer feedback before improving their own writing. More confident learners can extend the task by transforming the message into a formal, neutral notice.

The resource includes printable student worksheets, Model and Notice cards, differentiated learner routes, planning and language support, peer feedback, self-assessment and Teacher’s Notes with classroom procedures, answers and a sample response.
