Join Dr Jonathan Laskovsky, a Lecturer in Critical Theory at the University of Melbourne for a block of workshops to help teens shape their ideas to write better essays.

We see non-fiction everywhere every day. It’s based on facts, but writing it well takes skill.

This block of three essay crafting workshops will focus on framing, argumentation and referencing skills with opportunities for one on one mentoring within each session.

Participants are encouraged to bring along assignments they’re working on for tutoring feedback and support. 
Limited spots, bookings required. You can attend one, two or all three workshops. 
Snacks and refreshments supplied.

For high school students in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 only.
