New Writing Curriculum

[writefoundation]

Hi everyone!

I am a Mom of 2, a certified teacher with a Master of Education degree who was convinced by her homeschooling sister to put her 17 years of experience & education to use!

I have created "The Write Foundation" & my first volume is: How to write an Expository Essay. It is a 12 week curriculum on 170 pages along with all lessons on DVD.

You can pre-order now and save 40%.

Thanks!

This is a good initiative to create spaces where parents and students can exchange and chat about curriculum. And since homeschooling gives so much more flexibility, it should be wonderful to go through this. And on the topic of writing, I have heard that homeschooled kids are more creative and are good ruminators. I don't doubt their creativity. What might compliment their creativity is technical aptitude. IT would make sense for parents to give them 3 rounds of editing and then edit it themselves or even use a free writing tool where the child can finally run it through. It would also make sense to practice various kinds of writing like fiction, non-fiction, directive, descriptive and argumentative.
