IEW メソッドを使用してストーリーを再話するためのライティング (ユニット 3)

Did you know that all stories include a similar sequence?  We will be using common story elements to retell a story in our own words....and make it better!

Students will be introduced to the third unit of writing methods from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW), focusing on retelling narrative stories.  

Each class will consist of modeling and participation to produce outlines as we use questioning strategies to retell a story in an organized and logical format.  We will transition our notes into 3 short paragraphs for a final product each week.  

New stylistic techniques are learned each week, and we will be using assignments done at home to share and discuss our work.  The last portion of each class will consist of a short review game using a new element learned in class. 

Throughout this class, students will retell tall tales, myths, fairy tales, and their own choice of a book or movie, either as a personal retelling or students may use the story of focus as a plot-base for their own imaginative creations. 

Students should be able to read and write fluently.  ALL students entering the class should have prior experience using Key Word Outlines and retelling paragraphs using IEW curriculum. 

This class is kept small so we can work together collaboratively and is is a great follow-up class to the "Writing from Key Word Outlines Using IEW Methods" class.
