Coherence and cohesion
These are two terms that apply to the skill of writing. Coherence applies to the way a
piece of writing is organised; a logical progression of ideas and careful organisation
within and between paragraphs. Cohesion refers to how ideas are linked; this is
commonly achieved by the use of reference words (e.g. the latter) and linkers (e.g. on
the other hand, alternatively). These language items are mostly, but not only, used in
writing and help guide a reader through the piece of work, showing relationships
between ideas.
At a lower level, you can work on linkers such as: but, both, and. You can show two
pictures of different people and ask students to write sentences comparing and
contrasting the two characters and using the three linkers mentioned. She’s tall but he
isn’t. She’s fair and he is too. They’re both fair. They’ve both got fair hair.
At a higher level you can cover more complex ways of linking. You can give phrases
that serve as both the beginnings and ends of sentences; ask students to combine
them using the linkers. The following is inspired by a Jane Austen novel I’m currently
reading, not by my own opinions!
He loved her / she had no money
Although she had no money, he loved her.
He loved her despite the fact she had no money.

Publication
You should also think about ways of publishing the students’ work. Ideas include:
inclusion in a class or school magazine;
produce a collection of work written by the class that you could bind or staple and
give to all members of the class;
produce an e-book of students’ work;
display students’ work on a school or class notice board. You can also ask students
to go around and read the work on the notice boards. You could set a simple task,
