Skills taught in the 12 Ways to Start a Sentence workshop include: the importance of compositional skills of sentence structure and sentence variety, an approach for writing more engaged compositions, a deeper understanding and appreciation for grammar, a sentence toolbox for writing with variety, and a lifelong love for the art of writing a powerful sentence.
