Elementary Writing (IEW SSS Level 1A) FLEX- First Semester

Students do not need IEW Experience. This FLEX class will have no LIVE instruction.

The lessons in this course will teach IEW Structure and Style in writing.  Structure teaches students how to organize their thoughts before they write.  Style teaches students how to engage the reader with literary devices called dress-ups and decorations in IEW. The class will operate as follows:

1. At the beginning of each week, the teacher will post a lesson highlight video. This will help the students understand what to expect and what to pay close attention to during their IEW video lesson.
2. Students will watch the IEW video lesson and complete the homework. Students will turn in their work and receive feedback from the instructor on every assignment submitted. 
3. At the end of each week, the class will be asked to share structure and style techniques used in their papers.  Students will interact with other students by commenting on the work shared. 
4. Students will also play games to reinforce learning on Quizlet  or Kahoot throughout the class.
