Thursday JH (AM2B) – IEW Writing (Based on U.S. History)

This continuing one-year writing course, taught by an experienced IEW teacher, is designed to give students the tools needed for excellence in writing; it takes two years in jr. high to give them a solid foundation for writing. This year, students will be using IEW United States-history based curriculum so they will get to look at explorers, battles, land expansion, famous ships, and founding fathers, all while they improve their compositional skills with the Structure and Style Writing Method using this theme-based IEW program.

There will also be a proportionate focus on grammar and roots. They will also learn to be responsible for their work with organization and time management. They will need to type their homework for outlines, drafts and final drafts. The ultimate goal of this class is prepare students for high school writing. New students may join this class mid-year with teacher approval!
