By the end of this 4 session class students will have creative 4 short fun fact-finding narratives. They will have learned how to ask themselves quality questions in order to "invent" content for creative writing. 

I'm a dedicated educator with over a decade of experience teaching IEW. My passion is to make writing engaging and enjoyable for my students, and I strive to bring creativity and interactivity to every lesson.

As a parent of three children, I've had the opportunity to use the IEW program at home and have walked my own kids through the program. This personal experience has given me a unique perspective and deep understanding of the challenges that students and families may face in the writing process.

In my classes, I aim to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment that encourages students to take risks and develop their own unique voices as writers. I believe that with the right guidance and support, every student has the potential to become a skilled and confident writer.

Whether in the classroom or at home, I'm dedicated to making writing a positive and rewarding experience for all students, and I'm excited to share my knowledge and passion with you.

Homework Offered
Each lesson will be accompanied by a corresponding work packet for students. It is recommended that students print out the packet before coming to class. The packet serves as a tool for completing weekly learning assignments.


Students have the option to submit their completed assignments through the Outschool platform in the "Teacher" tab for feedback.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students are welcome and encouraged to turn in their papers for feedback. IEW utilized a checklist method for clearly communicating what is expected for each paper. Students will be encouraged to follow the checklist. I will review papers and provide positive constructive feedback but will not award letter or percentage grades. The focus of the class is writing and the writing structure and style. I will not correct spelling and in-depth punctuation. Basic quality spelling and punctuation usage are expected but perfection is not required.
Grades Offered

I teach in a systematic step by step format designed to help the most reluctant learner achieve success. I have worked with many students with unique learning needs and my goal is to provide a class that can be adapted as needed. 

IEW Units 1 & 2, 3 and 4 lay the foundation for the IEW Method of Outlining and is HIGHLY recommended prior to this class.  Students should be able to read at a 3rd-grade level.
