Overview
Using the IEW Ancient History themed-based writing textbooks, we will learn the necessary tools that will elevate students’ writing with notetaking, retelling, dress-ups, sentence openers, and decorations. We will also practice our grammar and learn new vocabulary.
We will meet for an hour of instruction each week for 30 weeks. Moderate homework will be assigned along with extra opportunities for individual encouragement, tutoring, and editing help will be scheduled when needed.
