We are currently using IEW SWI which means in a two week time my DD will write a key words outline, a rough draft, and a final draft for three, one paragraph papers. This is the first two weeks. Toward the end of the 20 weeks they are doing one, three paragraph papers over that same time period. You can speed it up and do two weeks in one, but since my DD already doesn't like to write and is actually doing pretty well with this program I am happy with the two week schedule. I keep in the back of my head the fact that the public school was requiring four papers a year.
