ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We know that revision is different from editing. While editing involves fixing up the surface features of a piece of writing, revision means reworking it in significant ways. But how can teachers help students revise in ways that substantially improve the piece. In this session, participants will learn the Lucky Seven strategies that take a piece from so-so to spectacular.
This series of assignments is designed to heighten your awareness of the ways you can help your students upgrade their written expression. To be in compliance with directives as a result of the Coronavirus, this workshop is offered as a type of distance learning. There are 12 assignments and you can select any 10 for workshop credit. This remote delivery is a substitution for a face-2-face offering at the MonTECH building in Missoula. The instructor will send you specifics, including articles to read. Submit your responses to the workshop facilitator’s email within 2 weeks.
