Practical Writing Workshop: Everyday Written Communication

Everyday writing skills from letters to forms to thank-you notes. This is the practical writing that never goes away, no matter how digital the world gets. Grades 6–12. Instructor feedback on every assignment.

Some of the most important writing your student will do has nothing to do with school. This workshop teaches the practical, real-world writing skills that students need and that most programs never cover: writing thank-you notes, creating invitations, composing personal letters, writing clear directions, and other everyday forms. These are the skills that never go away, no matter how digital our society gets. Instructor feedback on every assignment. Weekly deadlines.
