"Using sentences to work on revising and editing is so much easier than paragraphs."
"Alice, today was great! I always come out of your trainings with something new, something deeper.
I never really thought about some of the ways sentences can be combined,
like absolute phrases, participles, and manipulating adjectives."
"I have been implementing these strategies in my classroom, and I am seeing success
for the students, and I am learning more about the English language along the way."
Participants will
- Use applied grammar as a tool for revising and editing
- Experience practical activities for sentence combining
- Examine hands-on revision practice
- Review grammatical structures that dress up writing
