Writing
with Structure & Style Continuation Course
(IEW
-- Level A for 2nd
year students)
(for
ages 9-13)
***One
year of IEW experience required***
This
year long class is for 2nd
year IEW students
(Class
begins Thursday, Sept. 10)
Prerequisite:
Students MUST have had one year of IEW prior to this class.
Students
should have a fair understanding of making and using key word
outlines to write paragraphs, creating titles, the six dress-up
techniques, retelling narrative stories (Unit 3), and the
topic-clincher paragraph rule (Unit 4).
At the end of
this year-long course, students will be able to write basic reports,
write stories following the Story Sequence Chart, write a 5-paragraph
essay with introduction and conclusion, write letters following the
basic essay model, edit their own work, and use advanced decorations
such as similes. Students will be doing lots of editing practice
throughout the entire year and will generally be writing two
to three paragraphs weekly.
Fall
semester-- (Part 1): Writing key word outlines and paragraphs
are reviewed, as well as all dress-ups. Moving into Unit 3 (retelling
narrative stories), students will learn a few more sentence openers.
We will then move into units 4 and 6 (report writing), writing three
paragraphs each week. Our last unit of the semester will be Unit
5, writing three-paragraph descriptions about one set of pictures.
Spring
semester -- (Part 2): Students will write a few more papers from
pictures before revisiting our story writing unit where they will now
write a three-paragraph sequel to a story we read together. Students
will then move into essay writing where they will choose a subject
and three topics and write a five paragraph essay, complete with
introduction, conclusion and bibliography. Our final unit will be
unit 7 (inventive writing) where they will write several
five-paragraph letters. Decorations learned this year include
similes and alliterations.
