The implementation of a writing workshop to develop english descriptive paragraphs in blogs in 10th grade in a public high school in Cuenca.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the contributions of a writing workshop on developing descriptive paragraphs. The study used a qualitative methodology focused on action research. The participants in the current study were 32 students in the 10th level at Colegio del Milenio Manuela Garaicoa de Calderon, located in Cuenca-Ecuador. The results obtained through the application of the writing workshop showed improvement in students' descriptive paragraph organization and structure, as well as the use of vivid adjectives and creativity. The investigation indicates that students' engagement and participation improved by using dynamic activities. Nevertheless, constant grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues suggest further attention to writing skills. In the same way, do not ignore issues related to working with large classes. It is worth emphasizing the appreciation of students by working with technology. Therefore, using technology in this study was well-received by participants to enhance the practical development of the writing workshop through blogs.
