This session is designed for teachers, parents, or tutors who have been using the basic IEW program, “Teaching Writing: Structure & Style,” and wish to deepen their understanding of the syllabus through a practice-filled, interactive day with Mr. Pudewa.

Each of the Structural Units will be reviewed and expanded upon, including:

* Note making and summarizing from notes; limiting skills.

* Summarizing narrative stories with the story sequence chart.

* Summarizing references (without copying the encyclopedia).

* Library research reports using multiple references and fused outlines.

* Topic - clincher paragraph format, techniques for titling.

* Creative writing, letters, writing from pictures, author imitation

* Formal essays and critique formats.

We will also review and develop all the stylistic techniques:

* "Dress-ups:” Tips and tricks for teaching and expanding them.

* Advanced sentence "openers"

* Judiciously choose literary "decorations."

With plenty of time for Q&A, this is an ideal chance to re-energize your self for the coming school year.
