IEW Structure and Style method is a comprehensive learning model that utilizes nine structure models and several style techniques to help students become confident and competent writers.

In class, we will read different source texts together and work through the different style and structure techniques. We will utilize activities and games to ensure the students have a strong understanding of the concepts they are learning. Students have the advantage of writing their papers at home, at their own pace, and sharing their work with their classmates during class time.

As students share their writing in class, they will have the opportunity to receive constructive feedback while practicing their listening skills and giving feedback.

The classroom will be a fun and supportive place where the students will enjoy learning together. My goal is to help students unlock their potential as writers in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Students will learn the first five units of the Institute for Excellence in Writing Structure and Style technique. 

Weeks 1-4: Unit 6 will introduce Summarizing Multiple References. Students will learn how to write a paper that summarizes multiple references.
