Learn about creating great stories by using varied sentence structure. In this class we will learn about what makes a good sentence.

#5 Word Choice
Spice up your writing with interesting and outstanding word choices. Sometimes students seem so caught up in their ideas, organization, and grammar that word choice may take a backseat. The use of good word choices will open their eyes to a whole new world of writing.
