Structure and Style for Students Level C - Crew Review

 

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

If you have struggled to teach writing, I encourage you to check out Structure and Style for Students Year 1 Level C from Institute for Excellence in Writing, also known as IEW. For this review, I received the basic package. The basic writing package is designed for students writing at a ninth through twelfth grade level. The basic package includes the following:

·         Student Packet

·         Binder

·         Teacher’s Manual

·         24 Streaming Videos

The student packet goes into the binder to create a paper organization system that students use to manage their coursework throughout the writing process. Each week throughout the course, students are instructed to put away their papers in their binder. There are eight tabs for sources texts, outlines, work in process, finished compositions, stylistic techniques, banned words, usage, and documentation. Both, the student packet and teacher manual include the suggested daily breakdown for each week, as well as all the resources needed to work through the course.

In this course, Andrew Pudewa leads students through a 24-week writing journey using humorous, incremental, and effective writing lessons. In our homeschool setting, we watched the video and completed the homework assigned in the suggested daily breakdown section on each week’s overview page. Throughout the course, Andrew Pudewa teaches students about note taking, outlines, writing from notes, retelling narrative stories, summarizing a reference, writing from pictures, summarizing multiple references, inventive writing, formal essay writing, formal critique, and response to literature.

Andrew Pudewa brings a successful solution to your writing lessons through an easy to use curriculum, Structure and Style for Students Year 1 Level C. I was able to use this product with my daughter; but IEW also offer Level A for students reading at a third through fifth grade level and Level B for students reading at a sixth through eighth grade level.
