Cileungsi — Teaching and learning activities at PKBM Griya Cendekia continue to bring fun innovations for students. This time, in the English subject for the Paket B class (equivalent to junior high school), the learning activities focused on the Writing – Presenting element, featuring a specific topic on creating invitation texts.
In this practical session, students were encouraged not only to understand the theory but also to directly practice making various types of invitations. Ranging from personal invitations, such as birthday parties, to formal or official invitations, such as school meetings and seminars.
Through this activity, students learned how to arrange a coherent text structure and use correct linguistic features, such as specifying the time, place, event purpose, and polite invitation phrases.
