| Description | This group will focus on learning to write stronger sentences and paragraphs. We will use idea maps and keyword outlines. This group is geared for writers who need the support that this structured approach provides. Participants will learn the steps of the writing process and will revise pieces for content and conventions. Participants will conference about their work, and learn to give constructive critiques to peer's writing. We will focus mainly on expository writing, but will also work on creative writing. Some homework will be expected. Main.MaryEllenGilligan - 15 Nov 2008 |
