Description
Train students to spot nominalizations and rewrite them into clear, verb-led sentences.
A ready-to-run facilitator pack that shows students how nominalization (“verbs turned into nouns”) muddies clarity, agency, and argument – then fixes it with a simple Reorder → Reveal → Rebuild routine. Includes timing-guided delivery notes, a Diagnostic Mini-Test, live-demo scripts, and assessment-ready tools (Hidden-Action Audit, Self-Edit Clinic, Quick Rubric). Perfect for seminars, tutorials, and supervision.
