This IEW class is ideal for students who want to learn unit four of the IEW writing process. Students learn to take notes from a reference by asking questions about a provided topic and source text. We will complete the keyword outline together. Learners will give ideas and practice telling back the text from their notes. Example topics will vary across subjects and may include writing about animal homes, ants, or honeybees. Assignment topics will come from various IEW books I have taught as an accredited IEW instructor. I will use slides to teach students how to make a keyword outline. After I model what to do, students can practice the skill independently in class as we complete the keyword outline together. Students will practice citing their sources. Additionally, after class, students will be assigned a paragraph to write from their keyword outline. This paragraph will summarize the reference. Learners may submit their paragraphs to me for review. Students may choose to provide the source text from their assignment.
