IEW U.S. History-Based Writing: 2nd Semester (Grades 6th-8th)

Class
Melissa L. - Registered IEW Instructor
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(329)
In this 15-week course, we will cover the last fifteen (15) lessons of IEW's U.S. History-Based Writing.

Class experience

US Grade 6 - 8
During the final fifteen lessons (16-30) we will cover Units 6-8. These include:
* Learning how to take notes.
* Learning how to create outlines.
* Writing from outlines/notes.
* Retelling narrative stories.
* Writing from pictures.

Learners will also:
* Increase their vocabulary with new words presented weekly.
* Learn how to structure their writing.
* Get an opportunity to practice writing daily.
As a lifelong learner, I too am always striving for growth. After years of using the IEW curriculum, I decided I wanted to share what I had learned with others and became a registered instructor with IEW. (Link for verification: https://iew.com/events-classes/instructors/find-accredited-instructor/330449) I have also been a tutor (teacher) for a local classical co-op, studied through literature seminars, and attended practicums to enhance my own reading and writing knowledge. 

I am also a certified TESOL/TEFL/EYL teacher, professional writer, beta reader, proofreader, editor, and homeschool mom. I have a love for the English language (I have the BA in English to prove it), the smell of new books, and transferring ideas from mind to paper. My goal is to promote a love of learning while offering a safe and fun environment. I truly have a passion for reading and writing and would love to share my knowledge and experience with your children.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
IEW is a wonderful writing program but, especially in the beginning, is best for those who have writing support at home. While the content is not the most important part of the program, being able to follow the directions and guidance supplied in class and in the workbooks is. 

Gimkit, Blooket, and Kahoot! will be used for gameplay as an assessment tool in addition to what learners write in class. Please note that an account is not required. The game code will be sent to learners during class.

Google Suites products (Docs, Slides, Forms) will be used to present materials and submit writing assignments. Students are welcome to use the writing tool that best suits their needs and is approved by each family.
