Online - Live Symposiums  
With Anna Rainville; author, teacher, mentor

"True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, 
as those move easiest who have learned to dance." - Alexander Pope.

Expressing oneself clearly through writing is a life skill and one that requires careful instruction and practice. This zoom workshop is designed for those interested in practical methods for teaching students how to write well.

Session 1: The Elegance of the Complete Sentence

In this one-hour session, participants will learn how to construct vibrant sentences, both simple, and complex, that invite and delight. Included are a review and practice of grammar and essential editing skills.

Session 2: Reading for Information, Note Taking, and Composing a Paragraph

In this one-hour session, participants will learn how to introduce their students to find and record the essential information in non-fiction texts necessary for report research and writing.  Using these notes, we will explore ways to compose succinct, dynamic paragraphs.

Cost: $35/per one hour session. The sessions are not recorded.
