Question for Trism users

[raganfamily]

Hello everyone,

 

I am planning out next year and have read over the literature assignments for

each unit of DAW and have some questions.

 

For example Unit 1, there are quite a few assignments. Are these

recommendations that I would pick and choose to assign OR are they meant for the

student to complete all of them.

 

I really like IEW and am also curious if there is an outline or scope and

sequence of the IEW units as they are assigned within Trisms DAW units.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

We are planning to use TRISMS for the first time this year and I am waiting to get our HM curriculum in the mail, so I'm no help. You may want to post to the TRISMS yahoo group also.

I'm not sure what others' response will be, but as a long-time TRISMS user myself, i would say pick and choose. IMO, there is no way you could reasonably expect a kid to get all those assignments done. About IEW, this is what I found at the TRISMS website:

"The IEW Teaching Writing Structure and Style program is completely covered in each volume of TRISMS. That is, each unit of the IEW program teaches new style and structure concepts and TRISMS follows those nine units with assignments throughout the curriculum. References are given to which DVD to view and which part of the syllabus to use in order to prepare for the assignment."
