Does Writing Tales 1 have the student rewriting from a Key Word Outline?

I thought it did, but then in the sample I don't see it that way.

 

Also do they have them adding in strong verbs, quality adjectives, etc, like IEW does?

 

Thanks!

We are almost to the end of WT1. They do not have the students write from an outline nor do they have them add those elements in the same way that IEW does but it does encourage them to add adjectives in the checklist at the end of most of the stories (once adjectives have been introduced anyway ;)) It also asks them to have at least two direct quotes in each story and to describe in detail the setting, what the characters look like, how they feel and to add adverbs in the last few stories as well.

 

Hope that helps!

Key word outlines do not start until WT2. As far as verbs and adjectives, WT1 just introduces parts of speech, not necessarily strong verbs or quality adj. I do think they get into this in WT2.

Thanks-that's what I needed to know! :)
