Brilliant Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 My dc have used IEW techniques since the primary years. This gave them a foundation for organizing their thinking, using word/sentence variety, etc. For 8th-10th grade, my oldest used Lightning Literature's writing assignments. They have a good variety. I referred to the writing handbooks WriteSource and WriteSource 2000 when I needed help in how to structure the assignments. She is a natural writer so it was fairly easy for me to evaluate her writing. We also did The Lively Art of Writing for a writing unit in 10th grade, which was really helpful. (she is now in an outside English class so I don't assign her anything for 11th grade writing) My 8th grade ds needs a little more guidance. I have a coach for him from WriteGuide. It's helpful to have someone else helping him structure and revise his assignments, so I plan to keep using WriteGuide as long as we can. But I do plan to use many of the same assignments from Lightning Literature through high school, and also have him do The Lively Art of Writing eventually.
