How to continue practicing and receiving feedback
Self-editing tools
The SPRINT! offers 8 writing exercises and a dozen of extra creative prompts, bonus materials, and resources to continue the practice after the SPRINT! You will have written a minimum of 8 texts. You're welcome to write more.
All SPRINT! participants get personalized feedback on their work. You will need to submit your texts in the private Community of Practice to receive feedback from Natalia and other members who are also doing this SPRINT!
The FOCUS of the SPRINT! is fluency in the language of feeling and emotion. We will be learning to express our thoughts, ideas, and emotions, to tell our stories, and to share our AHA moments in English.
However, the feedback will focus strongly on:
- sentence structure
- precise wording
- clarity
- flow and cohesion
- punctuation
- overall structure of the narrative/story
- making a strong conclusion
- articulating ONE BIG IDEA
Only if you're participating between May 13 and July 1, 2022. We meet weekly to line edit, revise your texts, and learn from the feedback. If you participate after July 2022, you will watch the replays at the time that is convenient for you.
You can take as long as you need to. If you participate in real time, we will have 8 weekly sessions, and you're supposed to write one text a week. But you don't have to if that's not your pace. If you watch the replays, you can write and submit your work any time after the SPRINT! is over. You will always receive feedback on your work.
You get lifetime access to all the lessons and to the dedicated space in the Community of Practice where you can submit your texts and request feedback on your work. You will always receive feedback.
Upper-Intermediate and above. You also need to have some prior experience writing in English. This SPRINT! is for advanced learners, not for beginners.
