October 23rd, 2007Home School Titan: Andrew Pudewa Interview
After two grueling but productive days at the Indiana Home Educators Convention six years ago, I wearily hauled my rolling suitcase, burdened with books, through the crowded Exhibition Hall. Mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausted, I unexpectedly stumbled upon the booth for The Institute for Excellence in Writing. My bleary eyes were drawn to a spiral notebook brimming with student examples. As I began to peruse the impressive material, a profound realization dawned: I must have this writing curriculum! Armed with my mighty VISA card, I purchased the TWSS - Teaching Writing with Structure and Style - a teacher’s manual and DVDs that have altered the attitude and ability of my family towards composition. Since that day, I have happily returned to IEW for more materials, and I have never been disappointed. Thank you, Andrew, for reminding me of the basic components of excellent writing and giving me the stylistic tools to write a paragraph teeming with dress ups, sentence openers, decorations, triples, and advanced dress ups.
