Adult Handbook Training Seminar

January 18th 8:30-2:30 PST (11:30-5:30 EST)

5 hours of instruction with two-15 minute breaks and 30 minutes for lunch

This instruction will be applicable to adults that recognize the need to provide quality writing instruction for their students. Instructors may use these materials as their stand-alone curriculum, or they may blend the writing and literature study processes with any other language arts curriculum.

This seminar will cover these elements:

• the basic 4-step writing process taught in the TWJ Writing Foundations Handbook, and used in all of our TWJ classes

• the multi-paragraph writing process taught in our middle and high school level classes

• the elements of the Literature Guide used by all TWJ instructors

This seminar is hosted online in a classroom type setting via Zoom.  Kris Cordell, owner and founder, will provide instruction. Join us to learn about the tried-and-true methods used by TWJ successfully over the past 20 years to teach students to compose skillfully written academic responses.
