📚 ANALYTICAL RESPONSE TO LITERATURE WEBINAR SERIES
⏰ Deadline to Register: September 4
💯 Many teachers that we have met are gifted writers themselves; however, they have confided in us that they have difficulties isolating or understanding their innate processing and writing skills and conveying those skills to their students.
📚 This training has been created to provide teachers with a step-by-step visual thinking process of what comes to them naturally, filling the gap between thinking and writing as twilight fills the gap between the night and the day.
✅ Teachers will learn the following skills to implement immediately in their classrooms, taking the mystery out of their students’ academic writing and the “blank” out of a student’s blank stare and blank page:
* Designing and decoding a writing prompt
* Reading and annotating a text
* Gathering concrete details (evidence)
* Generating commentary (analysis)
* Creating an impactful concluding sentence
* Writing a thesis statement
* Developing an introduction and conclusion
‍.
