Beginner Level
In this IEW writing intensive, students write their way through the first seven units. Advanced students will be introduced to unit eight. This course is ideal for students who need a refresher or want to sample the IEW writing method. Intensive classes move faster than regular courses, allowing students to complete coursework in one semester. Students reading at a 6th—8th-grade level will delight in the humorous and exciting texts as they learn to write incrementally. Throughout the course, students are provided with clear assignments. These include itemized checklists to ensure everything is in their essay. Combining grammar knowledge with thought-provoking writing topics such as Humpback Whales, Rotting Teeth, Carthage, and Aesop's fables, students will surely succeed in writing essays rich with new words and descriptive sentences. This course is twelve weeks long and provides opportunities for students to read their essays to the class. I will be the editor for students who wish to submit a rough draft for review before turning in their final draft. Students will earn an A for an accomplished paper that meets all checklist requirements or an I for an incomplete paper missing one or more checklist requirements.
Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to IEW's Structure and Style method of writing.
Students will write descriptive sentences and phrases.
