One possible starter activity for a writing task about markets could be a brainstorming session. Here’s how you can conduct it:

  1. Begin by asking the students to think about their favorite market or shopping experience. It could be a local farmer’s market, a flea market, or even an online marketplace.

  2. Give them a few minutes to jot down the key features and characteristics of that market. Encourage them to think about the sights, sounds, smells, and overall atmosphere.

  3. Once they have their ideas, ask the students to share their thoughts with a partner or in small groups. This will allow them to exchange ideas and potentially discover new aspects of markets they hadn’t considered before.

  4. As a class, create a mind map on the board or a large piece of paper, with the word “Market” in the center. Ask the students to contribute their ideas, and connect them to the central word using lines or arrows.

  5. After the mind map is complete, discuss the different categories or themes that emerged. For example, there might be sections for “Products,” “Vendors,” “Customers,” “Atmosphere,” etc.

  6. Finally, instruct the students to choose one category or theme from the mind map that interests them the most. They should write a short paragraph describing their chosen aspect of the market, using vivid language and sensory details to bring it to life.

This activity will not only help students generate ideas for their writing task but also encourage them to think critically about the different elements that make markets unique and appealing.
