This class is reserved for students who have already taken one of the following classes from Mrs. Hardman: Writing About Medieval Times using IEW Curriculum, Writing About Ancient History using IEW Curriculum, or Writing About US History using IEW Curriculum. **Completion of Parts 1 AND 2 of the courses above (or the equivalent) is required. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.** This course will revisit essay writing skills and checklists will be provided covering all dress-ups, decorations, and sentence openers previously learned in the courses listed above. This class will be spent on review of structure, short games/activities for reinforcement of stylistic techniques, and reflection on writing strategies on how to "write from the brain". Students will be given a choice of several prompts each week from which to write their 4-5 paragraph essays. Note: We will be writing a full essay per week. All materials will be provided via PDF for outlining, writing concepts, and checklists. No book purchase is necessary.
