SWI Continuation Course Teacher’s Manual. Download
instructions are provided on the blue page located in the front
of the box of DVDs.
Instructions
e
If your student completed one of the Student Writing Intensive courses, then you can simply continue to
use that notebook. If not, or if your Student Writing Intensive notebook is beyond repair, purchase a oneinch three ring binder (with a clear plastic sleeve on the front for the title page) and one set of five-tab
dividers. A prepared binder with tabs may be purchased at IEW.com/SIB.
m
pl
If you are building a new notebook, label your five dividers as follows:
Models/Sources
Checklists
Outlines/Compositions
Structural Models
Style Charts
Banned Words
Insert the seven pages to follow into your notebook as described below.
Place the “Key Ideas” page right in the front of the binder (before the tabs). Alternatively, it can be kept
in the front of the “Structural Models” section.
Use this area for all new handouts, outlines, models, checklists, etc. that
are currently being worked on.
Outlines/
Compositions
Place graded, completed work here. You may want to instruct students
regarding what to save (the finished work only, perhaps a grading sheet or
outline) and what to discard (old models, outlines, 1st drafts, etc.).
Structural Models
Place the “Key Ideas Page” here, or place it in the front of the tabs. As more
structural posters are given to your student in a lesson, add them to this section.
Some of the models to keep here would be: Story Sequence, Writing from
Pictures, Essay Model, etc.
Style Charts
The “Stylistic Techniques” page abides here along with all style lists (-ly
adverbs, prepositions, etc).
Banned Words
Put the “Banned Words” sheets behind this tab. For your convenience, the
banned word pages included here have the banned words and substitute
suggestions from the Student Writing Intensive Level A.
Sa
Models/Sources
Checklists
Note: Some Student Writing Intensive binders had “Current Work” and “Completed Work” for the first
two tabs. Those tabs work just as well, since that is actually how the notebook ends up being sorted.
The rest of this document contains all the student handouts, homework assignments, checklists, and
grading sheets necessary to complete the course. You may keep these in a folder and hand them out as
you need them, or create another divider to keep them all in the notebook.
