What it is: A plan is a few minutes of notes before you write: text type, reader, three ideas and the language you will use.
| Plan line | Example notes |
|---|---|
| Text type | blog post |
| Reader and register | classmates · friendly |
| Three ideas | timetable · breaks · sleep |
| Opening and closing | Hi everyone! … See you in the comments! |
| Useful language | what is more · that is why · I would recommend |

- main idea

Remember: Write the plan in notes, not sentences. Keep the words and structures you are sure of.
