Grammar and business writing workshop at Hutchinson Center
Grammar and business writing will be the focus of a June 9 workshop at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast.
The workshop includes a session from 8:30 a.m. to noon, “Making Your Business Writing More Effective — Including Email.” Practical, easy-to-learn tools for effective writing and common business formats will be presented to understand their structure and characteristics. Specific content will include the writing process and its purpose, readership, organization, drafting, revision and editing.
The workshop’s session from 1 to 3:30 p.m., “Good Grammar, A Refresher Course,” will offer a review of the key points of grammar, including punctuation and style. Participants will do a self-assessment of their skills and develop helpful strategies for continuous improvement.
