Workshops

Mechanically Inclined: Teaching Grammar and Editing in Context, Grades 4-8
Consultant:  Jeff Anderson
The words grammar and editing aren’t popular with most students (and many teachers). How do we help students become a part of this vital element of the writing process? Using wall charts, literature, and patterns, teachers discover how merging craft with grammar and editing can and will engage students.
