Learning to Write – Wrong

Time to put those convention tips I’ve been writing to use! Our state Home School Convention starts tomorrow.

Today I attended an excellent writing class with Andrew Pudewa of
Institute for Excellence in Writing. If you aren’t familiar with Mr. Pudewa or IEW, you’ve got to check them out. He is a fantastic teacher and speaker.

The class had a focus on writing for the SAT Essay. The way to write an SAT Essay, to get a good score, goes against most of what is done in real world writing, which made it hard for me to do. Good thing I don’t plan to take the SAT.

We didn’t just learn to write wrong though. Mr. Pudewa shared much on writing right also. DD said it was too much to take in in one day and then actually start applying. But we had a great full day learning, and she has much she can take home and gradually put into practice.
