Elaboration Stations

Elaboration is an important “tell me more” skill teachers often require. For each Elaboration Station workshop meeting, or “collab,” we’ll focus on 3 elements to add to a bare-bones sentence. You’ll then practice writing them and share your results. Most work will be done in class, and the final collab will be a friendly competition! You will receive a certificate indicating how many of the ten stations you successfully pass during the workshop.
