🌟General🌟 This multiday writing class focusing on the US History IEW curriculum is taught using the IEW method by a certified IEW instructor and includes weekly writing homework for practice of in class skills. 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). ⭐Class Breakdown⭐ Week 1: Unit 1: Note Taking and Outlines Week 2 Unit 2: Writing From Notes and Dress Up #1 Week 3: Writing From Notes and Dress up #2 Week 4: Unit 3 Retelling Narratives Week 5: Retelling Narratives and Dress #3 Week 6: Retelling Narratives and Dress Up #4 Week 7: Retelling Narratives Week 8: Unit 4: Summarizing a Reference Week 9 Summarizing a Reference and Dress Up #5 Week 10: Summarizing a Reference and Dress Up #6 Week 11: Summarizing a Reference 2 paragraph report Week 12: Unit 5: Writing From Pictures - an Introduction to Creative Writing and Sentence Starters Week 13: Writing From Pictures and Sentence Starters Week 14: Creative Writing and Sentence Starters Week 15: Creative Writing Student Piece - this is a lesson outside of the textbook Week 16: Review, Sharing, and Celebration Wrap Up 💥Class Structure💥 🕰Time Spent in Class Class 1: 5 minutes of vocabulary introduction 5 minutes of text 10 minutes of brainstorming and creating a keyword outline 10 minutes of writing in class Class 2: 5 minutes of vocabulary review 10 minutes of stylistic introduction and practice 15 minutes of writing and adding stylistic applications 🕰Time Spent Out of Class (optional) Day 1 after class: Finish key word outline and practice retelling to an adult Day 2: Use retell and write paragraphs Day 3 after class: add stylistic techniques to written paragraph and include vocabulary words if possible Day 4: edit paragraphs and write final copy
