trailofsparks Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ds12 has used IEW w/success for 2 yrs. He has become a very good writer when he has the IEW format to follow. When he is rewriting a paper or doing a research paper, he comes across as a strong writer. But, recently he had to write an introductory speech about himself, and it just wasn't creative. He has a hard time thinking outside the box of just giving the reader "information", rather than combining that info in a creative, fun-to-listen-to way. I feel he needs something more - something to come along and open him up and help him to express himself through his writing. Do you think I am asking too much at this age? He is definitely dialectic (logic stage) in a lot of areas at this point. Are there any other programs you would recommend me looking at? Do you think I should stick with IEW a while longer, then plan to switch - why and to what? Thank you so much! I feel like entering 7th grade is a colossal event - it's racking me a bit. I appreciate the help. TIA, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGHEALTHYMOM Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I wonder if you found out anything on here? I am also looking at the Writer's Jungle now. Thanks. I will keep looking :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemota Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm reading/using Writer's Jungle now, but am curious about IEW for next year... I'd also love to hear any comments from people who've used both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
