3. Writing like a pro

4. Writing like a pro!
Today, we’re going to talk about six different ways to vary your sentence structure.
While I give a short lecture on the topic, you’re going to take notes on your handout – make sure you’re paying attention, because you’ll have to explain each technique in your own words.
