Ep #12 Summer Writing Activities
Show Notes
I love summer break. Three months of sunshine, ice cream, and baseball. And no school! Bring it on!
Everything is great, for a little while, but inevitably, the long days of summer lead to the bored kids of summer. At least that’s how it was in my house.
That’s when I learned the magic of doing just a little of school each day, not enough to feel like we were working very hard, but at something a little educational like an extended story time or figuring out a few math problems. Plus, children are less likely to forget skills (reading, writing, arithmetic) if they are practicing them.
All this makes summertime the perfect time to try out some writing activities that you might not make time for during the regular school year.
In this episode, I discuss
· A fun and easy way to get students writing
· How to banish boring book reports and replace them with interesting book projects
· Writing ideas for one of the greatest books of all time
