This immersive workshop focuses on the writer’s craft. It encourages the writer to consider the choices they make when writing a sentence, just one sentence, and the effects it creates. They will re-write the same sentence 8 times, tweaking it a little each time, until it is the best sentence they’ve ever written. Learners will also become familiar with the metalanguage of grammar in context. Innovative teaching research finds this to be the more effective way to learn grammatical items. No prep required, other than grabbing: A pen Some paper A thesaurus could come in handy And a little attention to detail

In this immersive workshop, the learner will be guided through an extended piece of writing.

Along with the sentence prompts, there are optional challenges to stretch the learner. Or, for writer’s block, there are sentence starters to get them going.
