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...
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.
I have three years of experience teaching the IEW Structure and Style writing curriculum. I am a Registered IEW instructor.
Homework Offered
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.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
As students submit their KWOs, checklists, and final drafts, I will review them to ensure the student is using and understanding the methods taught in class. In my capacity as the instructor, I will carefully examine each paper and furnish the student with beneficial and encouraging feedback. I won't be giving out letter or percentage grades, as the emphasis of this course lies in honing your writing abilities and enhancing your arrangement and approach. Although it is important to have a decent grasp of spelling and punctuation, grammar is not the focus of this class, so I will not be providing feedback on grammar and punctuation. The key to success is to keep writing and striving towards improvement.Grades Offered
