In Written Composition Fundamentals, participants learn:

1) How to teach the structures of descriptive, narrative, process, compare and contrast, and persuasive paragraphs;
2) How to help students enhance the quality of their paragraphs; and
3) How to teach students to edit and revise paragraphs.

Written composition is the highest form of language development. Often students struggle with written composition because they are unsure about how to formulate ideas and translate them onto paper, but knowledge of the structures of different paragraphs aids students in formulating and translating ideas.
