Aventuras en la escritura del currículo de IEW (Parte 2)

Throughout this class, students will continue to outline and write paragraphs following specific structures. They will enhance their writing with several stylistic techniques. To do this, students will participate in four steps over time: 
1) learn to create a basic outline from a piece of writing, pictures, or their own ideas
2) phrase the outlines in complete sentences verbally and in writing
3) write paragraphs based on the different outlining structures
4) add stylistic techniques to enhance their writing  

Each week during class, students will interact with the teacher and other students to practice building on writing skills through modeling in the required book, discussion, and short games.  The games may use the chat box, on-screen annotation, and verbal exercises.  

All activities will reinforce the concepts of both writing style and writing structure as well as the theme of adventure.  

After gaining the basics of outlining through class and homework, we will begin to develop 1-3 paragraph compositions.  Students will use a checklist to format their papers and practice adding style features to their papers called "dress-ups".  The dress-ups of focus for this session are adverbs, verbs, several clauses, and quality adjectives.
