Class experience
US Grade 4 - 6
Using the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) writing methods including key word outlines and style techniques, learners will be guided through writing exercises with summer themes. Each week's class will open with an icebreaker question followed by a brief grammar or style lesson. A group writing exercise will introduce the structure and theme of that week's writing exercise. Time to begin the individual writing challenge will be given during class so that questions may be asked and...
I am an IEW Registered Instructor.
Homework Offered
Learners will be encouraged, but not required, to complete the writing exercises outside of class time. Additional writing challenges will be given for optional practice.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will offer written feedback and editing of submitted assignments. I will use the checklist given in the book to guide my feedback. I do not offer letter or number grades. Submission of the exercises will be encouraged but is not required. In order for the assignments to be evaluated, they must be either typed or very neatly handwritten. The files should be uploaded in a direct Outschool message to me rather than posted on the main classroom page. Photos of handwritten work may be submitted provided the photos are oriented in the correct direction, taken from directly above, and fill the frame of the picture. If I cannot read it, I will ask for a different file to be uploaded. All submitted assignments must be double-spaced.Grades Offered
PDF handouts may be provided periodically. Writing supplies will be needed during class. These can be pen and paper or an electronic option. The writing from pictures project will require at least 2 photos that the learner has from a summer outing or vacation. If the personal letter will be mailed, an envelope and stamp will be needed. An optional writing resource is IEW’s Portable Walls. This resource can be purchased from the IEW website. https://iew.com/portable-walls-for-structure-and-style-students
Writing exercises will be based on the IEW Writing Method.
