May 11: Essay Structure (Thesis Statements and Topic Sentences)

May 18: Sentence Structure: Using Correct Syntax 
English sentence structure can be difficult to master, but there is more method to the madness than you might think. This workshop will improve your writing by teaching you how to understand the general structure of English sentences in a visual way that you will remember, as well as how to avoid the common sentence-level mistakes like fragments, run-ons, splices, and more.

Once you've written a paper, how do you make each sentence memorable, punchy, and clear? This workshop will showcase several stylistic errors that plague poorly-written, albeit grammatical, sentences. You will learn to become a better writer by identifying and deleting meaningless phrases, picking between different vocabulary items, using easy-to-parse sentence structures, and more.

May 25: How to Write a Forum Post & Response
How do you write a stand-out forum post? How do you organize your thoughts succinctly and provide sufficient detail for an argument in only around 300 words? This workshop will cover how plan and write a forum post that addresses your topic thoughtfully and engages your classmates, as well as the best way to respond to a classmate's post.

May 26: Enjoying the Writing Experience
