構造とスタイルを考慮したライティング（IEW ユニット 1-4）

Institute for Excellence in Writing is an award-winning, comprehensive writing curriculum.  Writing with Structure and Style teaches nine different structures of writing. 

This is a Level A class and will cover Units 1-4 of IEW.  I will not be using IEW materials, however, so you do not need to spend any extra money.  After 16 years of teaching IEW, I can help you apply the concepts to any material.  Parents, if you follow along, you will learn significant concepts in the IEW curriculum so you can teach your child yourself.  On the other hand, your child will be just fine taking this class on their own.

Please note this is a 22 session class, just under $15 a session. 

This Level A class covers Units 1-4, which includes:  Note-taking, organizing a paragraph, planning a narrative, fusing informational sources, topic sentences.

The IEW writing methods transform struggling writers by empowering them with specific skills.  Strong writers excel with specific challenges. 

You do not need to be familiar with the Institute for Excellence in Writing methods to start this class.   Though the IEW method allows for a wide variety of learners, this class is generally for later elementary school.   Students should be able to manually write a few sentences. They should be able to copy from the screen and be willing to volunteer answers occasionally. 

The schedule is
Weeks 1-4 Note-taking and writing from notes
Weeks  5-8 How to plan and write narratives
Weeks 9-10  Combining sources, writing topic sentences (the beginning stages of report writing)


Students should expect to write at home to finish their work.  At the beginning of each class, we will take turns sharing our completed work.  Students can only share if they have submitted their work to me.  I do not grade it, but I find students are more prepared to share, and more motivated to complete their work if they have to turn it in to me before sharing with the class. 

*This class exceeds Common Core standards. 
 I have been an IEW instructor since 2010, and have taught IEW methods in many ways to hundreds of children!   https://iew.com/events-classes/instructors/find-accredited-instructor/23993
