The workshop addresses these questions:

  • What is writing?
  • What are the benefits of having good writing skills?
  • Why do so many students struggle with writing?
  • What is the foundation of proficient writing?
  • What type of writing should be the focus of instruction?
  • What materials are necessary to teach writing?
