Town Mouse and Country Mouse is level two of the six year course published by the Institute for Excellence in Writing.  This book is designed for learners in grades 4-6.  Each week the book provides four sentences for the learner to edit and correct using skills learned in Town Mouse and Country Mouse.  In class the teacher will teach the new concept.  The learners in the class will together correct sentence number one.  The teacher will give the learners five minutes to work on their own to correct sentence number two.  The entire class will then correct the sentence together.  The learner will correct sentences three and four on their own during the week.
