Writing Workshop

Please encourage any and all students who are having difficulty with their writing skills to attend our upcoming Writing Workshops, presented by Fuller's Writing Center. By encouraging your students to attend, you will not only help them to improve the quality of their writing, but also potentially save yourself and your TAs some grief in grading papers at the end of the quarter! :) All workshops are taught by Fuller alumna Kathryn Streeter, who came to Fuller with six years of English teaching experience and has, to date, served as a TA for a total of nine classes taught by four different Fuller professors. The workshop schedule is as follows:

Composition Workshop
How to develop a strong thesis statement, form coherent paragraphs, and use supporting evidence appropriately
Friday, November 7, 2008, from 1-3 p.m., in Payton 102

Advanced Composition Workshop
How to develop different kinds of thesis statements, transition deftly between paragraphs, smoothly integrate quoted material, and more!
Friday, November 14, 2008, from 1-3 p.m., in Payton 102

Grammar & Editing Workshop
How to fix common grammatical errors such as inconsistent verb tense, flawed sentence structure, and misplaced punctuation
Friday, November 21, 2008, from 1-3 p.m., in Payton 102

All workshops are FREE, and no RSVP is needed. A packet of helpful materials will be available at each workshop for $5.

Thank you for your help in getting the word out! Flyers will be available in classrooms this coming week for the benefit of interested students. Feel free to contact kathryn_streeter@fuller.edu with any questions.
