Are you looking for writing practice for your 9-12 year old? Do you need your learner to complete a weekly writing assignment with an option for a grade? Would your student benefit from writing instruction and accountability whether or not they have prior experience with IEW? You have arrived at the right place! 

Every month, we will write 4 different 1 paragraph reports in class, and students will have another assignment to complete at home. We will write a variety of types of writing that...

Students will be able to:
-take notes using key words and outlines.
-use a variety of style techniques to make their writing more interesting.
-write a story or report from a key word outline with a topic sentence and clincher.
-rewrite a fable with new characters and a new setting to create a new story.
-ask questions about a picture to create a story with a topic sentence and clincher.
-write a variety of essays using ideas of their own.
-explain ideas in an expository essay.
-write a descriptive essay using the five senses.
-use persuasive arguments to write a persuasive essay.
-think about their own lives and ideas to answer reflective writing prompts.

I am a registered IEW instructor. I have taught 4th-7th grade English in public and private school.

I will assign homework after every class. The homework is optional. However, I'm happy to provide a grade for any completed assignment.
There will be 2 assignments per week:
1-complete a key word outline using the steps provided in class.
2-use your outline to write the 1-3 paragraph report, essay, or story.

In class assessment:
-I call on each student as often as possible, and I will assess and gently guide students and class discussion throughout the class time. Students are free to talk to me, use a thumbs up, and/or respond in the chat box.
After class assessment:
-Students have the opportunity to complete homework assignments. I will comment on each assignment and provide a grade if that is desired.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

I use the Institute for Excellence in Writing program. I create all of my own curriculum. Parents don't need to purchase anything.
