Description

Class Experience

In this class, your learner will be working on lessons 27-30 in Ancient History-Based Writing Lessons from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW). Your learner will read a short story called "The Taming of Bucephalus" in lessons 27-28 and create a formal critique in two weeks. Lesson 29 guides your learner through the process of a character analysis using the TRIAC method. The last week will involve a Nearpod activity that will be sent out on Monday.

Learners will organize and write a formal critique and response to literature using the IEW method. Your learner will add dress-ups, openers, decorations, literary devices, advanced stylistic techniques, and vocabulary to enhance their essays.

The student should be prepared to spend 2-4 hours per week on homework, including watching the recording, writing compositions, and participating in brainstorming and grammar exercises. The parent should be prepared to help when needed.
