Adorei o curso, é cheio de recursos, exercícios, atividades e tem um conteúdo precioso. Muita novidade, me abriu outras perspectivas sobre a escrita. A professora Natália me encantou, ao mostrar seus processos criativos e a delicadeza de sua escrita.
Sou professora de adolescentes e certamente vou adaptar as atividades propostas para enriquecer minhas aulas.
