He was being told\, she explains\, that “if he likes sentences he could begin\,” and she remembers a similar conversation with a painter friend. “I asked him how he came to be a painter. He said\, ‘I like the smell of paint.'” The point\, made implicitly (Dillard does not belabour it)\, is that you don’t begin with a grand conception\, either of the great American novel or masterpiece that will hang in the Louvre. You begin with a feel for the nitty-gritty material of the medium\, paint in one case\, sentences in the other.”  ―  Stanley Fish  \n___________\nMentor Sentences is a Growing Strong Writers workshop.\nGrowing Strong Writers Workshop Series with Alice Nine is attentive to the importance of daily writing practice\, the complex demands of learning English\, and a desire to cultivate a love for writing \nThese workshops offer super simple\, no nonsense\, can-use-it-tomorrow routines and strategies. Workshops are interactive with teachers doing the work of a student to step-by-step experience the routines themselves. to examine routine procedures and management\, and to clarify\, connect\, and expand personal knowledge. Alice also shares practical ideas for adapting routines to meet diverse student needs and the demands of writing across core curriculum. \nOther Growing Strong Writer workshops:  How We Write\, Writing with Authors\, Sentence Combining\, Poetry Fridays\, Morning Pages\, Small Writing\, Poetry Notebook.
