For the Independent Student

  • For the self-motivated student and an aid for parents, the SWI and Continuation Courses are the ideal vehicle to learn the Excellence in Writing Program.
  • The DVDs teach directly to the students at their grade level.

Canadian Student Workbooks
Thousands of Canadian students have benefited from the workbooks which have been written by Excellent Resources to accompany the teaching on the Student Writing Intensives.
  • Expanded into 15 weeks of lessons with approximately 4 lessons per week, each workbook supplements the SWI with 60 additonal assignments for additional practice with the concepts taught on the DVD's.
  • These assignments feature Canadian content ranging from "Canadian aniimals" to "Canadian history" from which to write complete with checklists for each assignment.
  • Parents and teachers have found these extremely valuable as ready-made lesson plans which enable them to jump-start the writing process immediately.

What is covered in each SWI course?

The SWI will greatly enhance parent/teacher understanding of the TWSS syllabus, while providing a humorous and energizing boost for students of all ages. For teachers, it can be used in a classroom as a jump-start for each new unit, while students who are in school can use it as an extra-curricular crash course to help them complete other writing assignments with greater ease and ability.

Each group (A, B, or C) presumes no previous experience and differs mainly in the type of source texts used, speed of presentation, and sophistication of vocabulary. Consequently, you should choose the level based on your child’s age and maturity, rather than writing ability; and, if you wish to use the SWI with children of mixed ages, you can generally “shoot for the middle” and get excellent results.

Each package contains four DVD discs, a packet with the resources, source texts, and checklists needed for the video classes, along with a set of three to five supplemental lessons (source texts and checklists) for each of the units.
