Part 2 of 2 - 15 week courses.  Previous IEW experience is not necessary, but is helpful. 

Each week we will talk about the historical topic that goes with our lesson.  The IEW techniques and assignment will also be introduced, explained, demonstrated, etc..  Assignments, which will consist of 1-3 paragraphs, will be posted each week and are due one week after they are assigned (unless otherwise noted).  We will complete kahoot quizzes at the complete of each literature assignment, as well as discuss the book each week. 

Each week new dress-ups, sentence openers, decorations, advanced additions, etc., will be introduced to help enhance your child's writing.  Checklists will be provided to remain on task and reach the hightest score possible. Resubmissions are allowed should corrections need to be made.  

Source texts, note posters, and other items to help remember concepts will be provided.  In some cases students will need to research and bring their own sources to class to complete assignments.  Several assignments will be linked to the reading of the literature, therefore the literature reading is a required portion of this course and required for success of the course.
