Activities Include: Daily Summaries: each day your teen will write a paragraph or summarize what he learned using the activity pages in his (or her) journal. Instead of having your child answer questions or fill-in-the blanks he'll summarize and tell back via writing what he learned. Start Your Day! - this page has space for your teen to write the date, a verse or quote and a prayer list. It also instructs your child to choose four books from their stack for reading that day. Reading Time - this page will have your teen write a summary from one of their books and illustrate it. Drawing Time - this is a fun page. Your teen will add something to an illustration. Science Page - after your teen reads about science either from a library book or textbook he will have the opportunity to write what he learned and illustrate it as well. History Page - once done with reading about history your teen can make a mini timeline and write about someone or place in time that he learned about. A great way to document what he's learning. Math, Finance, & Economic: My Notes - your teen can use this to write math problems or jot down what they are learning about in finance and/or economics. Copywork - have your teen copy something that stood out to him or an interesting paragraph. English Page - instead of answering English/grammar questions, have your teen tell back what he learned. This is a great way to remember what was learned. If your child is studying a foreign language like Latin, have him tell you via the English page what grammar concept he learned. Nature Study - this page gives your student a chance to go outside and draw what he sees, whether it's the house next door or a beetle on the back porch. He can also write something about it too like a fun fact, something silly, or his thoughts about what he saw and illustrated. Spelling Time - your student can choose a letter and find words that either start or end with it but to make it more challenging he'll have to five nouns, compound words, adjectives, verbs, and proper nouns. Once he finds the words he can write a story, poem, song, or play using the words. He can make silly sentences or try using as many words in one sentence too! He'll also get to illustrate it or make a comic about it using the boxes (strip) below. Film Study - watch an educational film, tutorial, or documentary and write a review about it, draw a few scenes, and rate it! This is a great way to document what your teen is learning, using real books or audiobooks for science & history, books that they have picked out and want to read!
