Designed with an investigative motif, Ancient History-Based Language Arts sets students on a mission of learning language arts while focusing on ancient history! Excavating the remnants of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, students track vexing vocabulary, crack critique codes, and demystify puzzling punctuation! Live and interactive, this class features all nine units of IEW's Structure and Style™ methodology paired with ancient history source texts. Pondering the riddle of the Sphinx, examining the Trojan horse, and surfing the Roman aqueducts, students learn to write and write to learn the mysteries of ancient history!
 
Tied to their learning about ancient history, students encounter a diverse assortment of short stories, poems, and novels complimenting trends and topics of ancient history. Each literary selection challenges students to improve their moral imaginations and enhance their enjoyment of great and good literature. From Ranofer’s struggle with his cruel half-brother in the mystery of The Golden Goblet to the misadventures of seven young Romans in Detectives in Togas, students learn to celebrate beauty, identify virtues, and discern consequences.
 
Students in Ancient History-Based Language Arts participate in a private virtual classroom in which IEW® Accomplished Instructor, Ericka McClelland, guides them through their weekly language lab investigations. After class, students download their weekly 4-day assignment schedule and customized checklists required to complete the week’s assignments. Once completed, students upload their work to their Google docs folder shared with Mrs. McClelland. Students receive weekly personalized feedback on each completed assignment. Equipped to approach language arts confidently and the art of language competently, students unearth the mysteries of ancient history.
