Using IEW writing concepts and daily grammar practice, this class will give students a strong foundation in writing, grammar, and style. Students will learn the IEW keyword outline system for analyzing a paragraph, which develops their ability to recognize important information from a source text and offers practice retelling a story or fact-based report in their own words. Additionally, through the Easy Grammar system, students will receive basic grammar instruction (verbs, nouns, prepositions, capitalization and punctuation, sentence structure, etc.). They will complete weekly practice at home with the Easy Grammar student workbook. Students will also complete reading activities at home through short stories and literature selections (a literature supplement will be provided, and the cost will be covered in the supply fee). Applying these concepts through writing, storytelling, presentations, class activities, and games will make learning English fun and memorable.
