Individual lessons customized especially for Ally based on the IEW methodology!
- Teacher: Alta Wehmeyer
Classes generally follow the same format every week. It starts with a short journal entry, followed by poetry memorization or appreciation. The next activity is a root word vocabulary exploration, followed by grammar studies.
During the writing portion of the lesson, a source text/s serve as the starting point. The text is read aloud, and all unfamiliar vocabularies are explained. A keywords outline is constructed from where they retell their story before writing a rough draft. What is not completed during the lesson becomes the homework assignment.
The learning goals in this methodology are introduced and practiced at the rate of approximately one new concept at a time. When mastery of the goal is achieved, the next concept is introduced, and the practice steps are repeated.
Weekly one-hour lessons.
Writing assignments are started in class time. Students can budget around 1 - 1.5 hours outside class time to complete all the assigned activities.
Students work through one vocabulary textbook per year for this class level. Every lesson and its activities are spread over two weeks.
FixIt Grammar is completed at the pace of four days per week. Each day vary in sentence length and complexity.
In some instances, larger writing assignments are spread over more weeks. The focus in this class is on mastery of skillsets while producing quality assignments.
