Advanced IEW Composition (w/Zoom backup in the event of library closure) Mondays 10:30am-12pm
Aimed toward grades 8-10 and up, the 30-week advanced IEW class helps prepare students for writing at the university level. Most of our weekly writing assignments range from one to three paragraphs; you may expect 3-5 hours of homework each week. Students engage in abundant group in-class preparation for individual written work. As far as structural elements, we cover IEW Units 1-8. Of the IEW stylistic elements, we will address all the basic dress-ups and sentence openers. In addition, we’ll explore a number of advanced styles decorations (including figurative language and literary devices). We’ll delve into narrative, report, and essay writing. Students will construct several 5- paragraph compositions, perhaps one longer “super essay” composition, and one independent research project toward the end of the year. During some class periods we will focus on notetaking from oral presentations or spontaneous essays from SAT-style prompts. Students will learn and be held accountable for adhering to the basics of MLA formatting and citation. Typing and midweek submission of compositions are required. This graded class counts as 1 high school credit. Please see class overview for complete details, required purchases, and payment info.
$117 per 6-week session, plus one-time non-refundable $15 fee due with first payment.
