| Workshop Full Desc | This workshop sequence, based on The Writing Revolution 2.0, scaffolds the transition from oral language to summary writing through four progressive objectives. It begins with oral sentence expansion (using Because/But/So) to build syntactical stamina, followed by using question words to orally isolate key information. Participants then practice converting notes into verbal structures via the Single-Paragraph Outline (SPO) before finally synthesizing these ideas into formal written summaries using sentence combining and appositives.
Ultimately, this scaffolding provides teachers with a roadmap to move students from foundational oral responses to high-level paragraphs and essays. |

| Workshop Prerequisites | Not set |
| Workshop Objectives | Oral Sentence Expansion: Practicing "Because/But/So" and "Taking the Register" to develop oral syntax and logical thinking.
Question Word Filtering: Using "Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How" to orally identify and isolate key information from a text. SPO Oral Rehearsal: Converting notes from a Single-Paragraph Outline into verbal summaries to bridge the gap between ideas and structure. Sentence Synthesis: Combining oral points into formal written sentences using appositives and subordinating conjunctions. Composition Scaffolding: Scaling these foundational oral and sentence-level skills to construct cohesive paragraphs and multi-paragraph essays. |
