Class experience
US Grade 4 - 5
In this class, your learner will be working through Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW). This course will take the students through units one and four of the program. Your learner will learn how to make an outline and retell a story or information by determining key words from a source text. Learners will then move into paragraph writing by writing from their notes, retelling short fictional stories, and summarizing non-fiction texts. In the midst...
Learners will improve their writing skills and learn how to organize their thoughts by creating outlines and compositions that follow the structure and style of IEW. They will dress up their writing by systematically adjusting parts of speech such as adverbs, strong verbs, and quality adjectives. Learners will also practice varied sentence structure by using different sentence openers.
Homework Offered
The learner should be prepared to spend 1-2 hours per week on homework outside of the recordings. This will include writing compositions, studying vocabulary, and participating in asynchronous learning opportunities. The adult at home should be prepared to help when needed. Google Docs is mandatory for grading purposes. In addition to writing assignments, your learner will be encouraged to send a video of their retellings through Flipgrid each week to the rest of the class. Your learner will not only be submitting this project, but will also be able to see others and provide them feedback as well as receive it. ***The following will be sent periodically throughout the course in addition to the instructional video. These will be used at my discretion to reinforce the structure and style being studied.*** - grammar and vocabulary challenges once a week using either Google Slides, Nearpod, and/or Quizlet - Google Slides asynchronous activities where the learners will apply strategies used in IEW's program to complete assignments, such as labelling parts of speech in a sentence or filling in a chart - Nearpod activities to review and master grammar concepts and parts of speech being studied - vocabulary quizzes and review on Quizlet1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The learner will be given detailed feedback weekly based on the rubric at the end of each lesson in the Student Book. Vocabulary quizzes will also be available. Collection of feedback and grades will be done at the discretion of the adult at home. *** If a number grade is not what you are looking for in this course, please message me directly so we can make other arrangements. The learner will also receive feedback on retellings and grammar challenges.Grades Offered
