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.

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. 

For Weeks 1, 2, & 3 we will cover 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. 

During Weeks 4, 5, 6, & 7, Unit 7 will invite some creativity for students but also teaches the final steps of the 5 paragraph model, the Introduction and Conclusion

In Unit 8 Weeks 8, 12, 13, & 14 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. Students will be required to find outside sources for this research paper. 


Weeks 9, 10, & 11 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. We will also introduce character analysis.
