If you are familiar with IEW, you know that Units 1 and 2 are the foundation of the whole program and must be learned first.  Students must understand how to take effective notes, and how to write from their notes, not just to be successful with IEW, but to be successful with all writing.

In this ongoing class, students will learn how to create a Key Word Outline from a short paragraph about animals, and how to rewrite it.  Students are welcome to take this class as many times as they would like. 

My classes are fairly structured with a lot of student input.  My goal is to help them create their own notes that make sense to them. This is an essential skill that can be carried into every other area of education.  The faster and more accurately they take notes, the more they will retain and understand. 

Students do not need any prior knowledge to take this class, but they should be able to read at at least a 4th grade level.  The source paragraphs given in class (around a 4th-6th grade level) should be easy for them to read.  The more times they practice this outline, the more proficient they will become. 

Each class will feature one animal and one grammar concept.  

Sample topics are below.  The upcoming animals always change with student input. 

Wolves- and strong verbs
Octopuses- and the who/which clause
Spiders- and the -ly adverb
