Frontiers in Writing draws students to write about intriguing topics such as Halley's Comet, the Mona Lisa, the Wild West, and other fascinating topics. At the same time, students learn to write using IEW's Structure and Style method. 

This class is recommended for fifth-grade students and up. Frontiers in Writing completes all nine IEW units. 

Students must be able to read at a fifth-grade level or higher.

Students will have homework to turn in. Students must be able to type and turn in completed essays. 

I will edit turned-in assignments, and learners will receive feedback.

Learners will need the student book for Frontiers in Writing: 
https://iew.com/frontiers-in-writing-student-book-only

Students will complete the first half of the 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 summarizing multiple references
-Practice inventive writing
-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 work with students 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.

Consider adding Fix It! Grammar Level 2 to this course.
