The Art & Skill of Essay Writing
 Join us Thursday, April 26 at Industrious - 1722 Routh St Suite 900, Dallas, TX 75201.

In this session, teachers will delve into the process of teaching their students the skill of using non-fiction text to develop and enhance their writing. Often, as writing teachers, we struggle with where to start when teaching our students how to write formal essays and timed writing samples.  During our time together, we will practice the step-by-step process of how to push students to become stellar writers and how to support you as a teacher in the process.
