“Don’t start a sentence with because!” is a common refrain among teachers. In this episode, Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker discuss why this word is important and how it fits into IEW’s list of stylistic techniques. Andrew considers how this word promotes thinking and why teaching students to use it provides exercise in overcoming awkwardness in writing. Why else should you listen to this episode? You should listen because you will discover how learning to write actually helps you learn to listen better.
