Bring paper and pen to write, plus bring one page, double-spaced, of your writing or a sample from literature to read aloud. In the first hour, we’ll look at what it means to add sound to your writing, and in the second hour, we’ll cover the basic skills of reading your writing aloud.

PART I: ADD SOUND TO YOUR WRITING
