Is there a list somewhere that would help me to figure out ways to ask for narrations so that we cover different types of writing (i.e. descriptive, letter writing, etc.)?
**And just as a side note, I have looked at many different writing programs and the decent ones all do this…help the child by not making them write anything original, give them good literature as a model of good writing, and wait until late middle school/high school to begin asking more of them than what appears to me to be narrations :)So if I were to purchase a program right now it would be a waste of money since my kiddos are only 9 and 11. I can offer good literature, ask for a retelling with out stressing them by requiring original content, and then work formally on essays, outlining, and the like later….whew! how great that feels! (and the SCM Language Arts workshop MP3 download is very helpful too)
