Sentence Strategies: Using Grammar to Build Academic Arguments

How you arrange clauses within a sentence affects the relationships readers perceive between your ideas. Coordination can give claims equal weight; subordination can establish contrast, cause, or qualification; and relative clauses can define, contextualize, or modify a key term. In this workshop, participants will become familiar with these grammatical structures by assembling, combining, and studying sentences drawn from academic contexts. Along the way, they will learn how grammar can support clearer reasoning and sharper emphasis in academic writing.
