This is a free event!
10:00 Session 1: From Copywork to Composition
Join Andrew Pudewa to consider the underestimated value of simple copywork, discover the power of text reconstruction, experience the delight of author imitation, and learn the surprising relationship between text analysis and creativity.
11:30 Session 2: Marking and Grading
Grading writing objectively is a challenge. Although many teachers recognize interesting or engaging writing, they struggle to communicate clear expectations to students. How do IEW teachers provide meaningful and consistent feedback while following the basic rule: hands on structure and style, hands off content? Learn more about the effectiveness of the IEW Checklist, IEW Checklist Generator™, and our newest tool, IEW Gradebook.
1:00 Session 3: Round-Table Discussion for Teachers
During the round-table discussion, join the conversation as our panel answers questions submitted during registration or asked during the live conference. Joining host Julie Walker are Erica Nease, Evan Smith, Jeff Nease, and Renee Vasher.
