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

I love what IEW does for student's writing. It gives them a clear rubric for what is expected. I am a certified IEW instructor and have been teaching this program for over 7 years.  It is my mission to make writing interactive and fun for my students. In addition, I have walked all 3 of my own kids through this program.

Homework Offered
Students should come to class with the Source text and the Outlining Template printed off. They should have 1-2 pieces of lined paper, a highlighter and something to write with. This will help them participate and do work while in class. After class students will have 1-3 hours of work to complete the assignment.
2 - 4 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

For simplicity's sake, It is my goal to keep as much interaction in the Oustschool classroom as possible! However, I will provide links to  Kahoot challenges which are optional but encouraged. Submission of papers via google docs is STRONGLY encouraged as it allows me to give the most concise feedback. 

Source Documents will be posted in the Classroom and students will need to print them off.
