Hours/Week: 4
Max/Min Students: 12/6
Grade Range: 6-8Course Description: This course is the next level for students who have participated in IEW’s Student Writing Intensive.
From the IEW website:
Designed especially for those techies-in-training or newbie nerds, Rockets, Radar, and Robotics gives middle school students practice writing with the IEW models and stylistic techniques using technology as the subject material. These lessons are ideal for parents or teachers who have taught an IEW course previously and have students with a year of IEW experience under their belts.
Students will enjoy learning how the military is using iPods®, how radar was developed, and what makes rockets work. Thirty lessons contain checklists and source texts, along with teacher’s notes in a supplementary e-book. The author’s 12-year-old son originally conceived the concept for this fascinating book and collaborated throughout the project.
Course Expectations: Students are expected to come prepared for class with their books, paper, and pens. They should be ready to get started right away, so there is enough time in each class for the students to get the entire lesson and understand the homework assignment.
Prerequisites: IEW’s SWI, either at Heritage, another co-op, or at home. Other students will be considered at the discretion of the teacher.
