IEW Fix It! Grammar Level 1: The Nose Tree - 1st Semester

“can u read this Do you sea the mistakes.”

Editing and proofreading are hard no matter what age you are. Fortunately, the Institute for Excellence in Writing, also known as IEW, created an easy-to-use and understand curriculum to help you understand grammar in a fun and exciting way.

Using the flipped classroom model, you will work individually during the week (Monday – Thursday) following the assigned homework and then we will gather together as a group to discuss what was learned and what needs additional attention. Students will be introduced to multiple grammar skills for editing as well as new vocabulary and self-correction. 

How does this work?
In class, we will explore a new grammar concept. You will take that knowledge and apply it at home by finding and fixing errors in the passages for each day’s assignment (four per week). At the end of the week, we will meet in the classroom to discuss the errors, make necessary changes, and review the grammar for the week. 

Each textbook includes an entire year (33 weeks) of editing practice, however, this course is broken into multiple parts. In part one, you will learn new vocabulary words, parts of speech, homophones, and punctuation skills.

** The weeks listed below for assigned homework align with the weeks in the textbook.**
