The SSS 1C part two course is ideal for students who have completed SSS 1C, part one or equivalent. Students must have general English grammar knowledge, know how to form a complete sentence and have a basic understanding of how to format an essay. Students will work through the second half of Structure and Style for Students Year 1 Level C. Structure and Style for Students Year 1 Level C teaches writing students IEW's Structure and Style approach. Students reading at a 9th-grade level and up will delight in the humorous and exciting texts as they learn to write in incremental steps. Throughout the course, students are provided with clear assignments. These include vocabulary words and itemized checklists to ensure everything is included in their essay. Students will write a minimum of three to five paragraphs most weeks. Combining grammar knowledge with thought-provoking writing topics, students will surely succeed in writing essays rich with new words and descriptive sentences. This course completes the second half of the book over twelve weeks and provides opportunities for students to read their essays to the class. Students may wish to watch the accompanying DVDs for additional instruction, but this class does not require that. I will be the editor for students who wish to submit a rough draft for review before turning in their final draft.
