🌟General🌟
This multiday writing class is taught using the IEW method by a certified IEW instructor and includes weekly writing homework for practice of in class skills.  Whether your learner has previous experience with IEW or not, this is a great class for building writing skills, especially for reluctant writers who don't seem to have ideas or starting points for beginning to write.  It provides a concrete method and structure that allows learners to know exactly how and what to write so they can experience success and growth as a writer.

✨Class Structure✨
Each week, a new unit, style of writing, will be introduced to learners.  During the first class of the week, learners will practice using a key word outline to jot down writing ideas and create a roadmap for what they will write.  This is working on the STRUCTURE of writing, or the foundation for what learners will write.  The second class of the week will focus on the STYLE of writing and will include dress ups such as strong verbs, ly adverbs, quality adjective, and more as well as and sentence starters that learners can use to add interest to their writing and vary sentence structures.  At the end of the week, learners will use our keyword outline produced in class and skills taught to be able to write their own paragraphs for homework (in class if time allows). **All turned in paper will be graded by the instructor using the IEW Rubric.

*This class can be differentiated each week.  There will be various source texts provided at different levels and optional homework.  You can pick and choose what you complete each week.  Please adjust the class according to your learner's needs.  I am available to help answer any questions regarding differentiation and how to adapt for each student.
