This class meets on Monday and Wednesday, 10 AM -10:55 AM

Grade Range: This class is best for students in 6th-9th grade. 

Christina leads a 30-week, live interactive writing course for students in grades 6–8 using the Institute for Excellence in Writing’s Structure and Style method. This engaging, theme-based curriculum guides students through world history using literature while introducing them to notable people and events, all while building strong writing skills. The course covers all nine IEW units and provides a full writing credit.

Students attend a weekly live class that includes direct instruction and a writing assignment, with all work submitted through Google Docs. Each assignment receives personalized feedback and a grade, helping students grow with clear, consistent guidance. Classes are recorded if a student needs to miss a session, though regular attendance is strongly encouraged for the best experience.

No previous IEW experience is required. While students should complete their own typed work, light parental assistance is welcome (without altering the student’s original writing). Students are expected to participate using a microphone and webcam to help create an interactive, supportive classroom environment. Class sizes are kept small, with a -student minimum, to ensure each student receives individual attention.
