IEW - Now that we are into the writing of our IEW papers, I wanted to go over somethings to hopefully help at home. They are to make the paper their own. They main story line must be followed, along with the characters but please let them add to the story. Story of students in the past have the story of “Belling the Cat” taking place at Christmas time and the family received the cat as a gift. One mouse suggested using a bell from the ornaments to put on the cat. Another student has the cat was received as a birthday present. Let your student have fun and be creative with the extra details of the story.
Rough Draft/Proofread – All papers must be double spaced. The rough draft is a rough draft. Please do not have the kids erase and correct their errors. Once they finished writing the paper, please proofread the paper. Correct the misspelling, punctuation, and capitalization by writing the correction in red or a different color. The reason the papers are double spaced is to allow room for the correction to be written in without erasing.
Checklist – I send the checklist home not for you to grade the paper but as a help so you know when you are proofreading if the kids have included everything that should be in the paper. In the past I have some wonderful papers turned in but the grade is failing because they did not follow the checklist. All items on the checklist, elements of style, dress ups, vocabulary words, need to be underlined and labeled in the left or right column. It will say on the checklist which side to label. They only need to underline and label one of each item listed.
We will introduce the moral on Monday. Moral (final clincher)/Title – The title is the last thing that they are to add to the story. Right now, we are doing fables, which has a moral. The moral is the lesson that can be learned. The last sentence of the paper should be moral. They are to pick two to three words from the moral and use those to make a title. Examples of the moral to title are on page 25 and 33.
Final Draft – We start the final draft on Wednesday, and it is finished on Thursday if not completed in class. Please send the proofread rough draft to school so they can start to copy and make the corrections into a final paper. This final draft is the one that will be turned on for a grade.
Poetry-We are starting to work on a poem this week. This is a cumulative, oral program meant to develop linguistic and oratory skills. Students should be listening to the poems and reciting along, rather than reading (it might help to read the first few times, but after that, listening is much more helpful.) You are welcome to come in and listen to the cd so you have an idea of how poems should be recited and I encourage you to make your own audio file reciting the poems to listen to in the car to make frequent practice more achievable. Once we've mastered the first poem, you will see the second poem listed on the blog and then your practice becomes both poems 1 and 2; we'll then move on to 1-3, etc. Assessments will be of a less formal nature in class throughout the quarter. Remember, the emphasis here is on being enthusiastic and expressive with our recitations. Focus should be on inflection, volume, tone of voice, eye contact, etc. We'll be working on this frequently in class as well :)
