Beginner Level
In part two of this beginner IEW writing class, students continue to write about intriguing topics such as Halley's Comet, the Mona Lisa, the Wild West, and other fascinating topics. At the same time, they learn to write using IEW's Structure and Style method. 

The course begins with lesson sixteen.

This is a Level A class recommended for fifth-grade students and up.

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.

Students will complete the second 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 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.

Learning Goals
