Eliminating Wordiness: Writing Clearly and Concisely
Want to write clearly and concisely without sounding like a robot? Let's ditch the wordiness! In this video, I'll show you three easy ways to make your writing more impactful:
1. Banish "To Be" Verbs: These act as filler words. My number one tip for avoiding wordiness is to cut them ruthlessly out of your writing. You can replace them with action verbs, switch up the order of words in the sentence, or combine sentences to declutter your ideas.
2. Combine Sentences for Clarity: Sentence rhythm and sentence variation are important. Try combining sentences so that your sentences are different lengths and begin with different types of phrases and clauses.
3. Cut Redundancy: Let's stop repeating ourselves and get to the point. I'll show you how to spot and eliminate unnecessary or repetitive words.
Watch this video to master the art of writing clearly and concisely. Let's make your writing shine!

Encouraging Words From A Teacher Just For You!
Just bought on TPT and using it for my high school senior ELL class! Thank you!!
My favorite line is "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"
You're so positive and encouaging. Thank you for the time and energy you bring to all of these videos!
Thank you so much for the analysis! I am just reading “Their Eyes Were Watching God” in my free time, and your video and explanation of the first two paragraphs was super helpful!!
Wonderfully explained. Thanks🙏
Neither reward or terror… probably life by conscious choice. Just simply noting of that choice he will never return and that is most likely the best choice in itself. Which hits at adventure over fear maybe.. it’s complicated on purpose, so it can mean many things to other people. Some people say it’s about a dead girl or something bazaar… because of a “back story” that seems to possibly not even exist. So, it’s pretty cool jus standing on its own personal choice it seems
Great Video! I just discoved micro writing. I am not a teach but a native english speaker whose learing French. I plan to use micro as a tool for both improving my writing in french and english. Thank you
