In this beginner IEW writing class, students write about fascinating topics such as Tsunamis and Alfred the Great while they learn to write with Structure and Style. This is a Level A class.
Students must be able to read at a fourth-grade level or higher.
Students will have homework to turn in. Students must be able to type or neatly handwrite their assignments and turn them in.
I will edit turned-in assignments, and learners will receive feedback.
Learners will need the student book for Discoveries in Writing:

Students will complete the entire book in this class.
In this class, students will:
-Practice making keyword outlines and narrating a story using their outlines
-Practice writing a paragraph from notes
-Practice retelling a story in their own words using their outlines
-Practice creating a title for their story
-Practice summarizing a reference
-Practice writing from pictures

-Practice using dress-ups, decorations, new vocabulary, and sentence openers to make interesting sentences
-Practice using English grammar
Using slides and interaction, I will teach the lesson or concept the students will work on during class.
I will model lessons, and we will work together in class to brainstorm ideas.
Students are expected to complete assignments after each class and should expect to spend time completing assignments outside of class.
