Syllabus: Intermediate Introduction to IEW Writing with Aesop's Fables Course Description: This course is designed as a continuation of Elementary Introduction to IEW Writing with Aesop's Fables. Using Aesop's fables and additional materials, students will build on their writing skills by learning to outline, write from outlines, create story sequence charts, and use pictures to inspire their own stories. The course will introduce various dress-ups, decorations, and sentence openers to enhance writing. This is an excellent preparation for the IEW course "All Things Fun and Fascinating." Materials Needed: • Printed copies of Aesop's Fables from Parenting by Example • 3-ring binder • File folders Weekly Structure: • Discussion: Each week, we will discuss the fable or picture to understand the context and characters. • IEW Techniques: Introduction, explanation, and demonstration of IEW techniques and assignments. • Assignments: Writing tasks posted each week in Google Classroom, due one week later. • Dress-Ups, Sentence Openers, and Decorations: New elements introduced weekly to enhance writing. • Checklists: Provided for each assignment to ensure students stay on task. • Resubmissions: Allowed for corrections.

We have been using IEW in our homeschool for 8+ years and I am a true believer in the method. As a registered instructor, I would like to help other children learn the joy and ease of writing using IEW. I teach from IEW texts as well as my own designed courses, such as this one.
