IEW Frontiers in Writing (Part 1)

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.
