Advanced Communication Series 3-DVD Set
The three DVDs in this set from the Institute for Excellence in Writing aim to help upper high school and college students improve their communications and information processing skills. Each DVD is 90 to 100 minutes long and is accompanied by a CD-ROM with student seminar handouts, teacher's notes, and more (access to a downloadable booklet with the same content as the CD-ROM is also included, but no print booklet is included with this product).
Covers planning and writing a persuasive paper. Beginning with selection of a topic, the focus is on moving the reader or listener to your point of view. The first half of the tape deals primarily with a paper, while the second half coaches the student on public speaking techniques.
Speaker Andrew Pudewa demonstrates a flexible "stick and branch" approach to note taking. He believes this is a more effective method of understanding complicated ideas taken from text or lectures. Mastering this technique can make a big difference in school and work performance.
A basic model is presented which can be adapted to a variety of needs. The author also provides a method for identifying the preferences of the teacher and modifying the writing style to appeal to the teacher.
College and upper high school students will learn how to take notes, craft college-level papers, and write or speak persuasively to a wide variety of audiences.
Prepare your student for college-level writing assignments with this 12-week course. If you’re familiar with IEW’s process, Andrew Pudewa’s instruction, and program components (student consumable and binder, teacher book, portable walls, key-word outline and video teaching), this course will be a fabulous next step in preparing for academic writing. If you’ve never used an IEW program: no worries! You can easily step in and benefit from this course—no pre-reqs! Students can stay fairly self-directed using their Student book and Binder: assignments are delineated; check-the-box steps are organized by days. Teacher books provide brief video summaries, the student book in small-format, additional teaching information, answers (when applicable), and more. The purchase of the Teacher’s Manual allows an e-audio download of Hacking High School (download instructions included in each text). Students will learn and practice varied writing types: taking notes from written and verbal sources; précis (similar to an abstract), writing prompts, a personal essay, position paper, reflection essay, and mimic a famous author’s writing style (while learning more about their own style). In addition, students will learn some very college-specific writing skills: note-taking practice, timed essays, MLA and APA documentation styles, bibliographies, and avoiding plagiarism. For the required video instruction, choose between either the forever streaming or DVD options. ©2024 ~ Ruth
