2 Day Seminars
Students who struggle with written expression often benefit from a process-based, sequential model for teaching writing skills that incorporates modeling and teaching metacognition throughout each step. This process includes brainstorming, organizing (via mapping and the use of graphic organizers), rough drafting, proofreading, and final drafting. These writing strategies can be applied to paragraph, multiparagraph, and essay level writing for assignments across the curriculum. This 2-day seminar will also include techniques for oral rehearsal, paragraph framing, the use of hands-on materials, and research writing.
