IEW 中世史に基づくライティング セメスター 2

PREVIOUS IEW EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Units 1-5

IEW is a comprehensive writing program that focuses on 9 STRUCTURAL models of writing as well as STYLISTIC techniques to enhance writing. Part 2 of this course focuses on Units 6-9.  Students need to have completed Part 1 of this course. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case base depending on students' prior experience with IEW. 

During class, we will read source texts together. I will introduce new concepts and model how it is done. We will discuss and work as a class to complete a sample together. We will brainstorm, play games, and have some fun reinforcing all that's taught.  Once we have begun writing papers students will have an opportunity to share their writing with their peers. Along the way, students will learn how to add style to their sentences and papers with dress-ups, varied sentence openers, and literary decorations. 

In Unit 6 students will learn how to organize and synthesize a large amount of information. They will Key Word Outline from multiple sources on 2-3 topics. They will practice FUSING this information before they write their paper. 

Unit 7 invites some creativity for students but also teaches the final steps of the 5 paragraph model, the Introduction and the Conclusion

In Unit 8 students will use past papers to practice completing a 5 paragraph essay. Then they will write a complete essay with ALL of the elements of structure and style. Please note that for this project we will be using outside sources.  The project will require students to find sources on their topic of choice. 

Unit 9 will combine the skills of Unit 3 storytelling, Unit 7 Introduction, and Conclusion and teach students how to properly critique a story not just retell it.
