Description:

Writing I is based on the Institute of Excellence in Writing (IEW) program by Andrew Pudewa. While students do not need prior IEW experience, they do need to read at the third grade reading level. We will begin writing with key word outlines and turn those outlines into paragraphs. We will also learn how to structure a well written paragraph and then expand on those concepts later in the year by writing a three-paragraph essay. This highly structured writing class helps eliminate the frustration for the student who just stares at their paper not knowing what to write. Parent involvement greatly increases student success. This class is being taught by an IEW accredited instructor. Approximate homework time: 1-2 hours per week.
