- Student Handouts ~ There are 25 worksheets that go along with the course. There are places to write definitions, lists of prepositions, -ly adverbs, and writing prompts.
This course is given by Andrew Pudewa. We get to sit in on an actual class where he is teaching the Essay Intensive. His classes are not boring he does throw in a little humor. Not only is he teaching writing an essay he also gives tips to the students so that they are observant to how they normally write and to use that to their advantage. He also encourages the students to take notes whenever they have the opportunity.
IEW is not new to us. We have reviewed product for them and we have purchased their products several times. Everything we have used from IEW and Andrew Pudewa has been a great addition to our school.
