The Writing Process

After the lesson on writing an essay or narrative, I realized… I probably should have explained the writing process first.

Oops. No harm done, though 🙂

I think knowing the prewriting process will help my reluctant writers!!

These two are my little authors!

As long as the get to write stories – they are happy.

And I will get this one to enjoy it 🙂 He just needs to find his niche.

(I have a feeling it will involve sports – LOL)

Writing an Essay or Narrative

I am so excited!  As soon as it stops raining everyday, we can bring our education to the great outdoors 🙂

This picture was taken in the fall… (when haircuts were still fresh – LOL)

There is something special about taking a sharp pencil and a fresh notebook outside to write!

For a while, my boys would GRUMBLE something fierce when ever I asked them to write – and their handwriting was sometimes illegible 😦

However,  since starting our “homeschool with YouTube” everyone is enjoying writing after the lessons.  Even handwriting has improved – in fact, I can’t tell the older two writings apart!!  HOORAY 🙂

Since writing is no longer considered a chore…I’m going to step out on a limb… and give a writing lesson!
