We could do a one-part or two-part workshop.

The difficult part in starting this workshop is finding tutors confident in their Spanish or French writing skills.

I think it could be beneficial to have a workshop on this so when people come in with them, the regular tutoring sessions run smoother.

Nobody wants to read a boring paper, and a little (correct) comma action and transition words can go a long way.

-Paul Favre]]> 2020-01-24 16:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/435722387 https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/435724252 Commentary is a crucial part of almost every writing assignment, yet a lot of times students find themselves stuck on where to start and how to add original thoughts instead of simply a summary.  Since the quality of commentary can make or break an essay, I think that this workshop could benefit everyone!

-Dario Tariafa]]> 2020-01-24 16:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/435724782 https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/435725821 Writing essays can be hard for English learners. I think that if we teach intermediate level ESL students we could have a positive impact on their writing. With them we could focus mainly on accuracy and grammar rather than only organization. This is because with English being their second language, these are the glaring mistakes they commit.

In this workshop, we could help the attendees master how they let their voice shine through in their writing, and show pieces of themselves through their personal style.

As one's entire paper/paragraph is created to support a thesis, it is important that a writer know how to create a strong starting point for their essay. 
-London Tuma]]> 2020-02-06 16:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/441652981 https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/441654949 Many students will have to do some sort of research project for their English class whether it's a presentation or essay.  I know that the librarians help with setting the students on the right track, but maybe some additional help or further elaboration on the do's and don'ts of research could be helpful. Including pointers on what you need for a research piece and how to piece it together could be helpful. 
-Natalie Siewick]]> 2020-02-06 16:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/441654949 https://padlet.com/kmschmit/tlq1qazgd30u/wish/441691816 A lot of students don't quite understand what MLA formatting is- despite the fact that the librarians have worked tirelessly to teach us. It would be beneficial for students to be reminded how to put numbers at the bottom of pages, and how to correctly cite an article. Also touching on how to format an MLA bibliography would be helpful to students who write wonderful papers, but get points taken off for mistakes in MLA structure.

Ryan and I along with Paul are gonna lead a workshop for AP Lang.
