This event is open to University of Pittsburgh students. The University of Pittsburgh Writing Center offers an "International Cafe" series throughout the year with workshops for the needs of international students. The third of 2017-18 is "The More You Know: Building Vocabulary to Strengthen Your Writing".
Do you struggle to know which vocabulary words to use when writing your assignments successfully and fluently? During this session of the Writer's Cafe, we will read several short pieces of published writing, and generate useful lists of vocabulary words and phrases that relate directly to the actions and relationships within each piece. This vocabulary will help us to begin writing about these readings in more authentic and successful ways. You’ll leave with vocabulary-building strategies that you can take to your other writing assignments. Facilitated by Laura Waxman.The free event starts at 3:30 pm in the Writing Center in the O'Hara Student Center at 4024 O'Hara Street in Oakland (map).
