Prior IEW experience (at least through Unit 4) is necessary for this class. We will be building on the foundations of Key Word Outlining. Students will be required to incorporate all Stylistic Techniques learned in other classes. Topic/ Clincher and Title rules will be reviewed quickly. Session 1 - We will spend time discussing "division of thought." Students will see how you can write a 5 paragraph paper on any topic by coming up with subtopics. This invaluable skill can be applied to any subject. The student will walk through an example together in class. For homework, students will come up with a topic they wish to write about and write 3 paragraphs on 3 sub-topics Session 2 - I will introduce the elements of a conclusion and introduction paragraph. Including dramatic openers and stating your opinion in a paper. For homework, students will write the introduction and conclusion of their paper. Session 3 - Students will share where they are at in the process. I will quiz students to make sure they understand the order of elements in a 5 paragraph essay. Finally, I will instruct on how to do a reverse outline and do a verbal presentation from one's paper.
Learning Goals
Students will complete 1 five-paragraph essay on a topic of their choice. The goal is that students will have learned how to think through a larger topic and break it down into smaller subtopics making it easier to write on. Obtain a clear understanding about the elements of an introduction and conclusion.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Washington
I love what IEW does for student's writing. It gives them a clear rubric for what is expected. I have taken my own children through IEW 3 times each! I have taught IEW in a classroom setting for 5 years instructing students and coaching parents. In the past few months, I have expanded my teaching to the online platform. Reviews
