Description of Ancient History-Based Writing Lessons Student Book by Institute for Excellence in Writing

Designed to teach structure and style in writing as based on Institute for Excellence in Writing's Structure and Style course, these Ancient History based-lessons will encourage plenty of quality adjectives and verb usage. Examples are set in ancient history (Sumner, Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Greece & Rome) and "history note" sections are intended to provide insight into the civilizations students will be writing about. However, this book is not intended for use as a curriculum replacement, but rather as a tool for broadening subject knowledge while teaching writing. Keyword Outlines, Rough Draft checklists, practice sentences and other strengthening exercises are included alongside opportunities for "polished" writing. The Appendix includes a stylistic techniques chart, lists of quality adjectives, strong verbs, -ly words, five-senses words, proofreading marks, and vocabulary words. 158 pages, spiralbound softcover.

This is a great writing curriculum. It present writing in short easy step. The lesson for each week reviews the previous skills and adds a new one. By the end of the book, the student can produce a terrific essay. When used over successive years (4th-7th) grade, the child becomes a proficient writer, able to write essays, research papers and free writes. I highly recommend the Writing with Research and Style DVD by Andrew Pudewa for the parent before beginning the program. it explains the 'whys' of the program.

I feel this curriculum offers some valuable 'building blocks' for teaching children how to write effectively including the use of strong verbs and adjectives, variety in sentence structure etc. My one caution is that you can become too dependent on this approach so that all the children's papers sound very similar. Sometimes, in my opinion, in order to use all the 'dress-ups' the papers can seem a bit contrived. Overall, it is an excellent tool for writing instruction as long as one allows for a little deviation when appropriate.
