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.

Grades: 3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $28
Materials: 1/2 or 1 inch binder
Course Description: Let's learn to dig deep when reading! For this class your child must be able to read and write on his/her own. I am not teaching how to read but building comprehension skills, which must come after learning to read. This class will cover reading comprehension skills. These skills are the foundation of good reading comprehension. It will be beneficial for children beginning these skills or as a review for children who already know these skills. Students will be introduced to the skill, then taught how to apply the skill while reading.
We will learn through a multi sensory approach so come ready to interact and learn.
Skills are: genre, author’s purpose, narrative elements, relating to text, prediction, fact and opinion, sequencing, compare/contrast, problem/solution, supporting details, cause and effect, main idea, context clues, character analysis, inferences, theme/moral, foreshadowing, summarizing, author’s style/tone, and figurative language. We will go over these skills the first half of the year through different texts. The second half of the year we will dig deeper using all of these skills as we read 3-4 different chapter books.
I rotate the books we use, this year I plan to use: Stone Fox by John Gardiner
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
The Report Card by Andrew Clement
Little Pilgram’s Progress by Helen A Taylor
The Borrowers by Mary Norton
*I may switch out a book based on the average class level. You will receive the finalized list in August.

The class will learn communications through daily lessons written in a narrative style and richly illustrated with color photographs and maps.
Course Objectives: Each unit includes five lessons that look at biographies, landmarks, daily life, "God's Wonders" (natural resources), and "Our World" stories (major events). Students will experience the tragic and triumphant events that shaped our world. They will get to know God’s created wonders that have a key place in the sweep of history. They will get an up-close look at landmarks made by creative people in many times and places. Students will encounter daily life of ordinary people through the centuries. They will meet influential people who made an impact in their own time and beyond. From Adam to us gives students the keys to engage with history, learn from history, and love history while growing to understand their place in God’s great story.
Assignments/Quizzes: There are opportunities for graded components of the course should parents decide to monitor and notate completed work, but I will not be grading. Students will be assigned weekly reading from the lessons we are discussing along with questions to answer from the lesson workbook each week. We will go over the answers each week for the questions in the student workbook and then take the unit tests. We will also go over the answers to the test together, I will allow the student to self-grade unless you let me know otherwise for your student. The only grade I will provide is a participation grade for the year that you can compile with the tests from each week if you would like to assess a grade for your student for this class.

Supplies and Books required: The Mystery of History Volume III: The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations by Linda Lacour Hobar
Description: Volume 3 of The Mystery of History covers world history from the years of the Renaissance and Reformation which were years of growth and change for both the world and the church. The Mystery of History, Volume III presents the years 1455-1707 through Christ-centered lens, exploring the backdrop to and significance of major cultural and historical people and events, alongside these events in the history of Christianity. Some include Ivan the Great, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ivan the Terrible, William Tyndale, Mary Tudor (Bloody Mary), William Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Sir Isaac Newton, The Salem Witch Trials and more!
Students are required to read an average of three lessons per week, and be prepared to discuss them. The children will enjoy hands on history as we bring these events to life - sometimes tasting food from that country/culture, acting out the events, playing games, crafts and more! This class is structured so that it fits all the different ages and allows the parents to decide how lightly or deeply to go in each lesson. All pretests, tests and exercises (worksheets) are up to the parents to give and grade, if desired. The goal is to help the children find a love of history, not by listing the facts and memorizing the dates, but understanding what happened and why that is important. (It is not necessary to complete Volume 2 before Volume 3.)

Required Textbook: None
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies: Pencil each week
Course Description: Come learn about the ocean! This class is intended to be more than a repeat of an aquarium membership. We will dive into more in-depth information about the ocean with hands-on learning of: plate tectonics, ocean topography, bodies of water, currents, tides, how the ocean relates to weather, survival techniques, and more. There are a few special presentations throughout the year including a sea-creature report and we will learn a knot of the month. This class will also incorporate the scientific principles taught in PBS’s educational 1984 series “Voyage of the Mimi.” The premise of this series is a ship taken out to sea by scientists taking a census of humpback whales. Though this series is a bit dated in technology, it is full of great information. I leave it up to each family to discuss their beliefs at home regarding evolution/creation and young/old earth. I will keep in touch through email when sensitive topics arise and am happy to answer any questions.
