Laura in OH Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We don't own IEW ($$$). Will the writing portion of Trisms be doable without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Basically, we did some picking & choosing from the writing assignments in TRISMS and just did them without using IEW's format, and also, I made up some of my own writing assignments (topics based on historical events or the related literature) and had ds write various kinds of essays about them. We used Format Writing instead of IEW to teach essay writing. Ds found IEW tedious, and I agreed to switch to something he liked better. Some examples of essays: Cause & Effect Essay -- French Revolution Compare & Contrast Essay -- American Revolution & French Revolution Example Essay -- Claudius's (Hamlet) Manipulation Tactics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in TN Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've been researching this curriculum for next year. The Trisms website says that if you are using IEW for the writing assignment that the TWSS DVDs are not necessary, you can use the notebook only. You have the option of using other writing instruction to complete the assignments as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
