deeinfl Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am so confused about how IEW works? I would be interested in this for a ninth grader. Can you tell me what you buy and then how you go about watching the videos and teaching this? Is it time consuming? We have been using some Wordsmith, some Writing Trails Men of Science, and lots of written narrations for history so far. This child likes independent work, so I need to make sure that I choose something geared to his learning style. If it didn't work for you, please share exactly why and what you used instead. Thank you, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in CA Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It worked for my highschoolers. I used the Student Writing Intensive C. It came with a schedule that my boys followed. Except for showing me their work in progress, it was very independent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I did the same thing as Melissa, with my 10th grader. We had tried other writing curriculum and couldn't find a good match. This year we picked up SWI C for the first time and she did wonderful with that. It is watching the DVD's and doing the lessons. There are free lesson plans on the IEW website to go with the DVD's. We just started SICC C in the last couple weeks and we are very pleased with it and seeing great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
