The Second Pillar of Writing Instruction: Sentence Development, by Martin "Marty" Brandt.
For 9th-12th Grades

There’s a lot of talk these days about promoting a growth mindset in the classroom, but what does this mean for teachers and students of writing. In this workshop, Marty will discuss sentence development—getting students to go beyond their self-imposed sentence boundaries—as an ideal way to promote growth for student writers and their teachers.

Martin Brandt is a Teacher Consultant with SJAWP and teaches at Independence High School, East Side Union HSD.
