Keys to Argument Writing

Holiday Inn Enfield/Springfield–Enfield, CTFor more information and/or to register click here.
Here is what attendees were saying after the "SOLD OUT" January 9 - Key Writing Routine event:
The quality of the presentation was excellent and provided clarification of many critical issues surrounding argument and its implementation.
This was the best PD I've ever attended. More "take-away" than I've ever experienced.
Plethora of strategies, usable templates, activities, and ideas I will definitely use. Shauna was an excellent presenter! Relevant examples and great analogies. Evident she is knowledgeable and in classrooms.
Shauna is the most effective presenter I have seen. She provides relevant examples and answers questions. She gave quality suggestions and has the ability to control a group well. She has made me interested in what else "Keys" has to offer.
Excellent support materials. This is the first PD where I am starting to understand argument writing.
