Battle the Bully

FIGHT BACK
Are you searching for ways to improve your students writing? Are you tired of exams which show no mercy? Intimidating and relentless, bullying your students out of confidence and worth? You could stand there and take it, or battle the bully with Writer’s Kata.
A recent report published in TIME shows the latest trend in college admissions is for parents to write the letter of recommendation. Admission officers note texture desirable yet absent in submissions.
Admittedly many students lack the ability to craft a writing sample that contains enough texture that would skin a knee. Writer Kata is a simple yet powerful premise. Practice to improve. Simple exercises to become a better writer.
BALANCE
The best tool is the one you use most frequently. Lightweight and high impact. Writer Kata strikes a delicate balance. Increase the volume of writing with instant feedback. Your students could develop into a warrior any Sensei would be well pleased with.
