Student Intensive Continuation Course - Level A
Author: Andrew Pudewa
The Student Intensive Continuation Course - Level A (SICC-A) picks up where the Student Writing Intensive - Level A (SWI-A) leaves off and continues with advanced stylistic techniques and the remaining structural models not previously presented. All students viewing SICC-A should have previous experience and a fair working knowledge of the concepts presented in the SWI-A. For example, before viewing SICC-A, students should have completed SWI-A or SWI-B (or have equivalent experience).
Each course consists of ten sessions . Appropriately challenging homework assignments are given for each class. Generally, each session is 90-110 minutes long and includes direct instruction, in-class exercises, modeling, and discussion.
Class materials include all source texts, new charts, assignment checklists, grade sheets, and abundant student samples for each assignment.
Each level includes 9 DVD discs and one CD-ROM with printable class
materials. Its use with small groups of
students is encouraged, and the reproducible course materials may be
distributed freely to all participants.
