IEW UNIT 7- Inventive Writing & the 5 Paragraph Model - FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE

This class is intended to build on Prior IEW experience (at least through Unit 4) However many students without prior IEW experience are able to jump in after watching a brief overview video I provide.  We will be building on the foundations of Key Word Outlining. In addition, students will be required to incorporate all Stylistic Techniques learned in other classes and students will be taught new Elements of Style. Topic/ Clincher and Title rules will be reviewed quickly. 

Session 1 - We will spend time discussing "division of thought." Students will learn to think through and write a 5 paragraph paper on any topic by coming up with subtopics. This invaluable skill can be applied to any subject. I will take the students 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 for a solid and clear 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 - We will cover several of the elements of style from IEW and work them into our papers for creativity and expression. 

Session  4 - Students will finalize and edit their papers. I will provide feedback and students are welcome to post their papers for peer review.
