A Royal Invitation

Hear ye!  Hear ye! 

Squire Orville of The Olive Plants Academy,

hast run the gauntlet of the five-paragraph essay.

 His skill art hereby displayed for thy wonder

at the bloggy court of

The Write Brothers.

Thou art cordially invited to witness

his act of bravery and prowess.

Should Squire Orville be dubbed

Sir Orville

of the Knights of Rhetoric?

Leave thy proclamation hereafter.

Fare thee well!

IEW

At the beginning of this school year, I bought IEW's Student Intensive for both of my boys with some hesitancy.  However, many of my friends raved about the program and highly recommended it to me, so I took the plunge.

Boy, am I glad I listened.  The boys have finished most of the student intensive, and I am now teaching them from the Ancient History-Based Writing unit.  They completed their first two assignments this week, and I have posted the finished works over at The Write Brothers.

If you are considering what to buy for writing next year, please allow me to make a suggestion!  IEW has been a huge blessing for us.  One of my boys is a reluctant writer. He used to cry when I handed him paper and pencil.  The other has loved to "write" since he was little and words flow from him naturally.  If you have a minute, hop on over and see if you can tell the difference.  It will be difficult!

Thanks, IEW!

Happy Writing!
