Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
IEW experience is helpful, but not required.

Each week we will read a short story and use a story sequence chart to rewrite the story in your own style.  

I will break down the Story Sequence Chart and leads you to effectively retell narrative stories with Structure and Style®! Every paragraph has a purpose, and when you understand what each part of a narrative does, you will be better equipped for all of your future storytelling endeavors. I will lead you through the process step-by-step.

IEW dress-ups and decorations will also be discussed.
