IEW カリキュラムを使用して科学について書く (パート 2)

This is the second class of a 2-part course on writing using the Wonders of Science thematic writing curriculum from IEW.   By taking both the Part 1 and Part 2 classes, students will cover most of the lessons in the book. 

Continue your focus on writing while learning about science.  Expand on what you learned in the Part 1 class by learning how to summarize multiple resources, create research reports, write essays, and begin papers on analysis.  Because this curriculum is sequential and builds upon a structure, we will cover the last 4 IEW units (6-9) in this class.

Each week during class, students will interact with the teacher and other students to practice building on writing skills through modeling in the required book, discussion, and/or short games.  The games may use the chatbox, on-screen annotation, and verbal exercises.  All activities will reinforce the concepts of both writing style and writing structure.

Throughout these lessons, we will be playing with words to "dress-up" our writing, using descriptive adjectives, strong verbs, adverbs, sentence openers, figurative language, vocabulary, and more to add interest.
