I did not make a big deal out of it… I just started remarking on homophones. I used which/which/witch as an example, and then I left a big space where we could fill in more as we continued through life. The next day I wrote the definition of homophones on our big whiteboard.
I was so proud of her for putting the whole thing together I didn’t say a word about it. She used witch where it should have been which. One thing I noticed in her persuasive slide show was she used the wrong “which” in her writing. She did a pretty good job of it… in fact, the ticket price was pretty reasonable, I almost decided to go. Mind you, we’ve never “studied” the persuasive essay… but she is a strong willed kiddo who likes to get her way. She put together a slide show, with all the pros and cons, the whys and hows of making this trip. (She decided three days before the concert that she wanted to go, and just FYI, Dallas is 5 hours from where we live.) My kiddo decided she wanted to go to a concert in Dallas not long ago. Here’s what has happened though… and how Brave Writer permeates all parts and moments of your life. Honestly, we’ve kind of been slackers when it comes to doing our Friday Free Writes, and Arrows, or putting The Writer’s Jungle into practice… in fact, it’s been a month or so since we’ve had Poetry Tea Time. When you live a Brave Writer lifestyle, language arts is never just Brave Writer. In reply to my response, a new homeschooler asked if I thought Brave Writerwas “enough”. I said we’d continue using Brave Writer for at least the next couple years (7th and 8th grade, which is what she asked about). Recently, in my Facebook group, someone asked for language arts curriculum recommendations.
