May 11, 2018 at the DoubleTree Hilton Andover Andover, MA
Workshop Objectives:
Use research-based methods to teach students the art of writing beautiful sentences and how the grammatical choices they make can impact their readers' experience. Help students deeply understand what a sentence is (and is not), the major grammatical elements they can choose from when crafting sentences and how to add flair and complexity, while avoiding run-ons and fragments. Hear the latest empirical research on how to teach sentence writing in authentic, embedded ways that will feel natural and uplift overall writing quality. Learn strategies that students can use independently to enhance authentic word choice, as well as sentence expansion, variety, and cohesion (within and across sentences). Also learn how to use sentence combining and artful sentence imitation to enhance depth, clarity and impact in writing. Discuss simple manageable ways to assess and then differentiate sentence instruction in ways that support students who struggle and challenge students.
This workshop is for Grade 1-8 Educators, Special Education Teachers, RTI Providers and Paraeducators.
