Homework
1 hour per week. Students will have a writing assignment each week to practice what they learned in class and strengthen their writing skills. Students are encouraged to complete the assignment each week. The amount of time the assignments take will vary based on the student. Students should plan on spending 1-4 hours a week on the assignment. Each writing assignment will include three things that the student will need to turn in. 1. Key Word Outline (KWO) 2. IEW Checklist 3. Final Draft of their paper The student or the parent will need to know how to upload documents to share the KWO and checklist and use Google Docs to share papers.Assessment
I will read each paper written by the student and provide feedback.Class Experience
IEW Structure and Style method is a comprehensive learning model that utilizes nine structure models and several style techniques to help students become confident and competent writers. In class, we will read different source texts together and work through the different style and structure techniques. We will utilize activities and games to ensure the students have a strong understanding of the concepts they are learning. Students have the advantage of writing their papers at home, at their own pace, and sharing their work with their classmates during class time. In the one-on-one lesson, I will focus part of the lesson on grammar in addition to the Structure and Style method. Grammar instruction will be customized to meet the needs I identify when reading the student's papers. The classroom will be a fun and supportive place where the students will enjoy learning together. My goal is to help students unlock their potential as writers in a comfortable and friendly environment. Students will learn the first five units of the Institute for Excellence in Writing Structure and Style technique. Weeks 1-4: Units 1 and 2 will introduce making notes and outlines and writing from notes. Students will learn how to create a key word outline and use their own words to write about a source text. Weeks 5-8: Unit 3 will introduce retelling narrative stories. Students will learn how to write short stories focusing on the key components: characters/setting, conflict, climax/resolution. Weeks 9-12: Unit 4 will introduce summarizing a reference. Students will learn to summarize information from a single source to write a report. Weeks 10-15: Unit 5 Writing from Pictures will introduce students to creative writing by using pictures to create their own inventive story. **Intereseted in Ancient or Medieval History instead of US History? No problem! I can do any of these topics for this class. PLEASE NOTE: There is a required text for this course. Please make sure to purchase the student book.
Learning Goals
This course will lay a foundation for students to be successful writers in many different scenarios. They will learn to adapt to different writing styles while learning style techniques that can be applied in any writing scenario.
They will learn four structures: Writing from Notes, Retelling Narrative Stories, Summarizing a Reference, and Writing from pictures.
Students will also learn different dress-ups and decorations to add style to their writing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Hello Outschool Parents and Students!
My teaching career began over 20 years ago when I worked in a preschool before studying education in college. I received my degree in Child Development and Family Studies and went on to teach preschool where I developed my passion for teaching and my love of storytelling.
Over the past twenty years, I have tutored math, taught in the classroom, taught English to English language learners, homeschooled my two children, and taught private IEW lessons. I have helped hundreds of children improve their education to help them be successful in their future endeavors. Being able to communicate thoughtfully and clearly is essential to success in our world. I am honored to be a help to students on their path to success.
In addition to holding a B.A. in Child Development/Early Education, I am a Registered IEW Instructor, and I am TESOL-TEFL certified.
I believe that every child can learn when they are shown the support that they need and know that their teacher cares about them and their success. My classroom is a fun, supportive space where students can thrive.
I am the owner of Now You Know Tutoring.
In my free time, I enjoy photography and reading historical fiction.Reviews
