Description:

In Writing III, students will hone their writing skills using the IEW (Institute of Excellence in Writing) method. Students learn to organize their thoughts before they write. Additionally, students will engage the reader with stylistic techniques. While students do not need prior IEW experience, they do need to easily read at the sixth grade reading level. Parent involvement greatly increases student success. Parents are highly encouraged to observe class, especially if they are new to IEW. Students submit weekly typed papers. Approximate homework time: 1-2 hours per week.
