Course Description: We will use IEW’s Fix It! Grammar, The Nose Tree. As students learn concepts each week, they search for and correct errors within a passage. Then they rewrite it correctly. This allows the students to apply their grammar knowledge in context.
We will use All Things Fun & Fascinating. IEW’s Student Writing Intensive lays a solid foundation of writing skills. Students will learn how to effectively use a wide range of structural models and stylistic techniques in their compositions, as they write on a variety of enjoyable fiction and non-fiction topics. Students will take notes, summarize narrative stories, write from pictures, put together a mini research report, and compose creative essays.
Students should be expected to work on assignments at home at least 4 days each week.
