Description
This teacher manual is required for use with the Frontiers in Writing student text. The wrap around format provides just enough teacher guidance, with student pages. You’ll find directions for the necessary Structure and Style videos which will prepare you for each lesson. This course is easy to implement and easy to evaluate. Although your involvement as teacher is required, the course is fairly pick-up-and go. I appreciate the rubric-style grading checklists provided at the end of each lesson. Each checklist will include elements the students are familiar with, plus one new element, with points given for such things as the student’s composition structure, mechanics, vocabulary, etc. ~ Ruth

Category Description for Frontiers in Writing (IEW)
Students will explore source texts on topics covering science topics such as Halley’s Comet, Copernicus, and the Mars landing. It will also include history topics such as excerpts from The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Tom Sawyer. This 30-lesson course helps students practice how to write from notes, retell stories, summarize references, and write from pictures (skills introduced in Adventures in Writing (3) and Discoveries in Writing (4), previous volumes of the Hillsdale K-12 series). Additionally, students will be introduced to inventive writing, formal essays, and formal critiques. This curriculum assumes teachers have learned the methodology of and have access to the IEW method, Teaching Writing: Structure and Style, lessons of which will be referenced in each unit. The course suggests literature that may be used to supplement the writing program: The Secret Garden; The Wind in the Willows; The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Charlotte’s Web. A convenience package of these selections is also available. The recommendation for most of these novels is to read each book over a two-month period. Adding literature guides of your choice or discussion questions to these (along with handwriting and other student-needed skills) would round out the student’s language arts course. The thirty lessons also introduce vocabulary which is practiced regularly, quizzed periodically, and ideally incorporated in students’ writing. Students learn words like methodically, contaminated, acoustic, traverse, and treacherous (with possible quizzes for review). To teach this course, purchase the combo of Teacher’s Manual or Student Book), or as individual pieces. This course is the fourth in a series of multi-theme courses created in conjunction with Hillsdale’s K-12 American Classical Education topics of scope and sequence, which assigns a Grade 5 reading level to this course. Appendixes include a mechanics and vocabulary overview and review games (in Teacher’s Manual only). First edition ~ Ruth
