IEW Middle/High School (“IEW 6-9”) – Medieval History-Based Writing Lessons
Instructor: Mrs. Crystal C. McCall, Accredited IEW Instructor
Email: crystal@sheep.education
Phone: 843-276-5575
Grades: 6-9
Monthly Cost(s): $35
Materials Fee: $39
Prerequisite: Former students receive priority seating.
Supplies and Books required: 1” 3-ring binder, with four separate tabs for Current Work, Completed Work, Resources, and paper.
I prefer students use pens in class because they write more easily and require less pressure…and they rarely break.
Curriculum used is IEW’s Medieval History-Based Writing Lessons, fifth edition, 2019. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
Course Description: This class is a logical next class for students who took IEW’s Modern World History-Based Writing Lessons the prior year as well as middle school students who were in IEW 2nd year, Ancient History-Based Writing Lessons.
If you have a middle school student who has never taken IEW before, this can also be a great place for students to start formal writing instruction if parents are committed to helping them at home. Consistent parental involvement and communication with me are extremely important for students to make progress in their writing skills in this class.
Students will develop their skill with the Structure and Style Writing Method while learning about interesting, important people and events in world history.

Monthly cost: $33
Material fee: $33 (lab supplies)
Textbook: 1st edition of Anthony Bertino’s Forensic Science Fundamentals and Investigations or you can download a pdf (PDF textbook is available when you Google: Forensic-Science-Fundamentals-Investigations-book pdf)
Supplies: 3 ring binder with at least one pocket divider, writing utensils, ruler, calculator, composition notebook for labs
Prerequisite: algebra 1 and biology or chemistry Accepted as a l credit for high school
Course Description: This course focuses on the standard topics of forensics, including but not limited to: crime scene investigation, hair and fiber analysis, fingerprinting, DNA, blood splatter, toxicology, forgery, soil analysis, ballistics, anthropology. This is a science class with a lab component. You will need to check with your accountability group as to whether it counts as a lab science for graduation. You may also want to check with the college of interest about whether this class will count as a lab science. Students will be required to do reading and research outside of class. The following components will make up their grade: 20%labs, 10%quizzes, 25%tests, 15% cases, 10% midterm, 20% final(which will be comprehensive).
Students will be required to do presentations in front of the class. These presentations will require visual aids in the form of a slide show or pictures as well as a written report. A knowledge of how to cite sources is required.
This is a fun class but it will also require the students to study and come to class on time prepared to learn. We have a very limited amount of time for each class, and I cannot spend that time waiting on students to arrive or disciplining students. Students will be required to behave respectfully to each other and the teacher. If a student is disruptive or does not participate fully in the activities of the class their grade will reflect it. If a student’s behavior becomes a continual distraction, measures will be taken to address and hopefully change the behavior. If nothing works, the student will be asked to drop the class.

This grade is not to be used as their overall Physical Science course grade, since it will only reflect work done on the labs, not on reading and tests. Students will be graded on weekly lab reports, maintaining a neat lab notebook, two major projects, and class participation. Detailed instructions for all assignments will be given in class. Absences are excused only with an email from parent within 24 hours of a missed class. Late assignments will drop 1 letter grade.
Students are to read the modules in the textbook at home on the same schedule as the lab syllabus. Parents are responsible for grading all text work (tests, study guides, on-you-own questions) and textbook progress will be checked at the end of each semester

Intro to Graphic Design
Instructor: Ivy Deitch
Email: ivy.deitch@gmail.com
Phone: 843-817-9218
Grades: 9-12
Monthly Cost: $30
Materials fee: $22
Supplies and Books required: needed daily are a sketchbook (I recommend Strathmore Series 400 9x12"), and a pencil
This course is geared toward students interested in pursuing Graphic Design at the college or university level.
Course Goals:
1) Demonstrate an understanding of what graphic design is.
2) Learn the design process and be able to successfully create a 2D design that displays conceptual thinking and understanding of design space.
3. Learn the basics of typography and be able to understand the importance of it and its history.
Unit 1 - Introduction to Graphic Design
This will cover what a graphic designer actually is and how one can make a living being a graphic designer. Students will learn about line, thumbnail sketching, and comprehensive designing.
Unit 2 - 2D Design Basics
Students learn the fundamentals of two-dimensional design, the foundation of art, graphic design, and visual communication.
Unit 3 - Design Process -
Students will learn and practice the design process through a simple five-step plan. Designers practice the design process in order to find solutions to the visual problems they take on. Students will be able to identify each step in the design process, understand the importance of each step, and implement them.
Unit 4 - Typography
Students will be introduced to the power of words through typography. After a brief but important history of the alphabet, students learn to use typography as a communication tool—not only to make artful design, but to organize and communicate the meaning of an idea. Students will understand how type can be used to make text more readable and understandable and how it can organize content for ease of use and comprehension.
This class is a very hands-on and project heavy class! We do lots of in-class assignments and well as a variety of more in-depth projects that can be done over a few weeks at home.

Course Description: Do you enjoy singing and performing? The HS Musical Theater class is a performance class that will put on a Broadway musical in the Spring (Show TBD).

Students must use accompaniment for their audition song. Auditions will be held before the first day of rehearsal.
Rehearsal time is valuable. We strive to make this the best show possible – this class requires COMMITMENT and PARTICIPATION from every student and parent. Each actor plays an important role and should plan to be at every rehearsal to make the show a success! All students and parents need to be a part of a Facebook group and will be asked to sign a commitment form.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be extra Saturday rehearsals closer to the performance that will be MANDATORY. There will be a small ticket fee for the show. Parents are responsible for costumes and any fees associated with costumes
