Whether your learner has previous experience with IEW or not, this is a great class for building writing skills, especially for reluctant writers who don't seem to have ideas or starting points for beginning to write. It provides a concrete method and structure that allows learners to know exactly how and what to write so they can experience success and growth as a writer. ✨Class Structure✨ Each week, a new unit, style of writing, will be introduced to learners. During the first class of the week, learners will practice using a key word outline to jot down writing ideas and create a roadmap for what they will write. This is working on the STRUCTURE of writing, or the foundation for what learners will write. The second class of the week will focus on the STYLE of writing and will include dress ups such as strong verbs, ly adverbs, quality adjective, and more as well as and sentence starters that learners can use to add interest to their writing and vary sentence structures. At the end of the week, learners will use our keyword outline produced in class and skills taught to be able to write their own paragraphs for homework (in class if time allows).
