 nyWhere Learning System: Curriculum,
Process Writing
|
AEC recognizes that educators need a tool that can showcase students’ grammar,
vocabulary, and language skills. The A+LS™ Writing curriculum brings everything
together in a creative style that stimulates students’ thinking and leads them through the writing process.
The Writing curriculum directs students through the entire writing process from learning to write a complete sentence to
expressing themselves creatively through essays or other forms of creative writing. This series of twelve titles moves students
through the comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation levels of learning.
During the writing process, students will creatively combine their grammar skills with the thought-provoking stimuli of various
assignments. The goal is for students to write clearly using correct grammar and structure. Writing exercises can be archived in a
portfolio for each student.
