Category Description for Institute For Excellence In Writing Programs (Iew)
Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) curriculum provides an overall approach to writing instruction for all your homeschooling years. The distinctive Teaching Writing Structure & Style (TWSS) approach focuses on two basic components of composition – structure and style. Structure is both the type of writing and the method of organizing the writing. Style includes such things as varying sentence openings, using similes and metaphors, or repeating certain words for effect. Teachers and students will learn how to outline and summarize; transform their thoughts and ideas into writing; create cohesive paragraphs, essays, stories, reports, and critiques. They’ll learn/apply stylistic techniques like varied sentence structure, interesting vocabulary; and literary devices. It’s assumed parents/teachers are familiar with this dual-focused TWSS method when teaching IEW’s Structure & Style and in the Theme-Based Writing lesson courses.
Category Description for Student Resource Binder Materials
Student Resource Packet material is used with each of the Theme-Based Writing Lessons. This material is available from IEW as a FREE download with the purchase of every course. However, we also offer a printed (and reproducible) version of the packet for those who either do not have internet or who do not want to "mess" with a download. A binder with tabbed dividers is available for those who want to build their own IEW Student Resource Handbook is also available. We also sell both binder/tabbed dividers and printed Student Resource Binder materials together. ~ Janice
