Course Description

IEW writing lab is designed as a companion course to offer additional support for students in various levels of IEW. We will review and reinforce key concepts of the IEW program, work through mini-lessons based on common errors, and practice important writing techniques and formats, including MLA style. Class time will include whole-group instruction, one-on-one tutoring sessions, and work on assignments as indicated on the assignment calendar for their core IEW class.

NOTE: This lab does not replace the important role of the teaching parent/editor for the IEW student, and parents will need to be actively involved in the writing/editing process each week.

To be successful in this class:

Students must bring their current IEW work to class every Wednesday. To get the most out of the class, it is important that the student begin the IEW assignment on Tuesday and be ready to ask questions or elicit help as needed. Ideally students should bring a computer/chromebook/etc. to class with their current IEW work so that they can conference with the teacher and/or continue their work on that week’s assignment.
