Linda Aragoni's learning courses online
And other events for writing teachers and students

Keeping track of dates associated with courses for middle school and high school students and workshops for their writing teachers makes my head spin.

I'm going to trying posting a calendar on which I note classes, registration deadlines, and similar dates associated with the learning courses I give online. I have included some national (USA) events you may be able to tie-in to your writing program.

This calendar format allows you to get additional information by a "mouseover" on an event title. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to link to pages where you can get information or sign up for events.

We'll see how this calendar works (or more properly, we'll see if I remember to keep the calendar current.) If we don't like it, I can always change it.

Workshops and course offerings, fall 2009

Here are links to descriptions of my fall 2009 adult learning courses online. These professional development workshops are open to public, private and homeschool teachers:

• Crafting Informal Writing Prompts

• Crafting Formal Writing Prompts

• Get Creative with the 5-Paragraph Essay

• Shape Creativity in Nonfiction Writing

• Plagiarism Prevention

I offer four student learning courses online. Details about them are at these individual pages:

• Zucchini in Zero Gravity

• Writing Humanities Source Papers (MLA format)

• Writing Technical Source Papers (APA format)

• Preparatory College Composition

Time zone considerations

I live in the Eastern time zone in the US where we observe Daylight Savings Time. If you live anywhere else, you can check a time zone calculator to see what time an particular online session will be delivered in your time zone. Plug in "New York, New York" as my city, and the date and time of the class session to get the class time where you live.

Courses available at group rates

If you'd like me to give a learning course online especially for members of your 4-H club, homeschool co-op, school faculty or other group, please contact me for information on group rates.

The easiest way to keep abreast of workshops, courses and other events is to subscribe to my free monthly ezine, Writing Points. You'll be sent an email asking you to confirm your subscription. When you do, you'll get to choose one or more thank-you gifts. Then, each month, you'll get the ezine full of tips and resources for teaching writing.
