Course Description

This class will introduce some of the core writing concepts that are taught in the upper level IEW classes at co-op. A primary concept covered is key word outlines. We will go over many examples in class, and the children also will have homework each week. For more information about the IEW curriculum, watch a video here: Learn to Think and Write with IEW.

It is highly recommended that 3rd grade students type their compositions instead of hand writing them.

Two Day Model:

Students will come both Tuesday and Thursday and attend IEW writing/grammar as one of their package of 4 classes. Tuesday will be when most of the core concepts are taught and delivered. During the class hour, the teacher will use a variety of methods such as a powerpoint presentation, interactive class activities, and guided practice opportunities to teach new concepts. On Thursday, students will be able to receive more guided practice on IEW and grammar concepts and engage in additional interactive activities to review and reinforce the concepts for the week. They will also complete all grammar Fix-It sentences in class. Students will have 2 days of homework to complete at home each week.

Homework will be due the following Tuesday.  See the chart below for homework examples.

To be successful in this class:

Listen and participate in class, complete assigned work on time, and follow instructions.
