About the event
This semester we will travel back in time to the Medieval period. Students will work through the Institute for Excellence in Writing's (IEW) units 1-4 as they learn how to take notes and write outlines, write from notes, retell narrative stories, and summarize a reference.
Vocabulary and grammar concepts will be included in this course.
Please note that this is the first semester of a year-long course.
