Pre-Writing: What It Is and Why We Do It
Do you struggle with brainstorming and getting started on a paper? When you do get an idea, do you do anything before you sit down and begin writing in a Word document? Or, are you like most students who simply sit down and write, with no real process between the idea and the act of writing? If so, this workshop is for you.
Many students are unaware of the usefulness of pre-writing. Pre-writing, when done well, makes the process of actually writing a paper much easier and more efficient. But what is pre-writing, and how exactly does it do that? This workshop will answer that question and offer strategies for brainstorming, organizing ideas, and incorporating evidence.

Crafting Effective Thesis Statements
Do you dread the moment your professor will inevitably bring up thesis statements? Do you often get feedback that your thesis statement needs improving? If so, you are not alone. An effective thesis statement can make or break an essay, and being able to craft an effective thesis statement is a skill that will transfer to every other area of your life. It is an essential skill everyone should know, but not many master.
This workshop will examine what makes a thesis statement most effective, discuss strategies for writing and revising thesis statements, and examine sample thesis statements from a variety of disciplines and situations. This workshop will be offered in person in the UNF Writing Center (Building 4, Suite 2501) and on Zoom for those who cannot come in person.

Crafting Effective Body Paragraphs
Do you often get feedback that your body paragraphs need more--more textual evidence, more analysis, etc.? Do you often get feedback that your essay feels disorganized and your argument is hard to follow? If so, this workshop on body paragraphs is for you.
Body paragraphs serve several important roles, no matter what purpose or situation they're written for. Whether it's an email, a social media post, a lab report, or an English paper, knowing how to write an effective body paragraph is an immensely useful skill. Therefore, this workshop will discuss the role of body paragraphs, how to structure a body paragraph, how to organize multiple body paragraphs, and will examine several examples from a wide variety of situations and disciplines.

Revision Strategies
What is revision? How do you revise? What is the difference between revision and editing? Why do I need to revise? If you have asked yourself (or your instructor) any of these questions, this workshop is for you.

During this workshop, we will also demonstrate several revision strategies on papers from a variety of disciplines and situations.
