What in the world do
I do at Home???
When I was first introduced to
Essentials, my first question was what in the world do I do with my student at
home? So, this is just a
suggestion. The EEL guide also has some
suggestions on pages 19-22. Find which works
best for you. YOU are the teacher!!
EEL IEW
Day 1: Attend Essentials class… Attend Essentials
class
Watch, listen and learn! Watch, listen

Dialectic Discussion.

write paper for final edit from Mom.

*** Scale the
dictated sentences according to your child’s ability. If he/she can only do sentences 1 & 2,
then drill them until he/she can do them easily. You also will want to scale the number of
tasks your student completes. Replicate
what your tutor modeled, but you set the expectations. I am available to help
you understand different ways to scale for your student and how to set
attainable goals for your student.
What to Bring to Class Each Week
Student
o Essentials Gear Section or Trivium Tables
o Dry erase marker and pens (no pencils)
o Medieval History Writing Student Workbook and SRN
o IEW Writing Assignment*

success of Essentials.

is teacher education.

o Cell phones on vibrate and put away
** Turning in IEW Writing Assignments is not
required, but, if you would like feedback or accountability, I will gladly
accept them. However, if you choose to
have your student turn in his/her work, it needs to be in this format.
§ Double spaced
§ Typed or neatly written
§ Labeled appropriately with stylistic techniques
§ Accompanied by the check list already filled out and graded by
the teacher (that is you, mom).
