This IEW theme-based writing class is a great introductory course for reluctant writers, who need easier to read source texts. Students will get to know workers who keep a community running smoothly while learning to write with Structure and Style. Giving the students experience writing paragraphs, stories, and reports, six of IEW’s nine structural units will be covered. Theme-based vocabulary words will also be learned and practiced by incorporating them into the compositions. Activities and games along the way will keep interests peeked. All work will be completed together in class. Students will need to be independent readers and can copy work from the whiteboard.

| Course Description | In this second course, students will be introduced to more great artists and will work more independently. Using Charlotte Mason methods for Picture Study, students will learn about famous artists through biographies and pictures of their works, which will springboard writing ideas. Giotto, Leonardo daVinci, Thomas Gainsborough, and Vincent Van Gogh, will be the focused artists. Utilizing IEW’s Structure and Style Unit 5, students will learn to create a key word outline, write with style from the outline, and edit their work using a composition checklist. Students will need to be able to copy work from the board as well as write independently. Published stories will be collected into a keepsake folder book at the end of the year. Although our goal is to complete all work in class, some homework maybe needed. |
