Introductory Student Workshop
Calling all brand new IEW students! This writing class is perfect for students who are new to Structure and Style. Your students will enjoy learning with Andrew, and you will enjoy watching Andrew present the material. You’ll glean plenty of ideas to implement in your own classroom. This class is recommended for students who have a third-grade or higher reading level -
Advanced Student Workshop
Are your students familiar with the Structure and Style writing approach already? They will enjoy this advanced writing workshop on Unit 7, which focuses on inventive writing.Expanding their knowledge and writing skills, students will enjoy learning directly from Andrew, a master teacher. While any student is welcome to attend the workshop, this session does assume some prior knowledge of creating key word outlines and implementing stylistic techniques.
Teaching writing is easier than you think! This online conference will support you as you learn to teach your students to become confident and competent writers. It’s not too late to participate. Pull up the recording, and get ready to learn. We are glad to have you!
