IEW Week 13

Unit 6-Fused Outlines
Does anyone have anything they would like to share from last year?

Note to parents:
Please refer to the syllabus that was handed out in class. We will be working toward a goal of a large paper at the end of the term. As always please embrace scaling to make this project appropriate for your child. The process is the key here. If they are doing the best they can and are applying themselves, they are to be commended.

For this week, we will be working on fusing outlines and writing a paragraph from that outline with our dress-ups. Next week, we will be fusing outlines, writing our paragraph, and adding dramatic openers and closers. After that, we will take a break and work on some creative writing.

We will be working on fused outlines today using two sources from our USHBW book. Essentially, we will follow along with the lesson. Please turn to lesson 22. We will create a KWO from first one source, then the other. Once that is accomplished, we will make a third outline with components of both the previous two. We will then write our paragraph from this third outline.

Scaling
The key here is learning to fuse outlines from different sources. Feel free to forget the writing of the paragraph at the end and just work on fusing if need be.

If your child needs some more, fuse from three sources, write an additional paragraph or see if you can get all dress-ups and/or decorations in your paragraph just as a challenge.

We will go through the exercise on pg 159 if we have time. If we don't, I encourage you to do it at home. Also, the text provides two additional sources in Lesson 22 for fusing practice  at home.
