Teaching Writing |
|
"It is not the hand but the understanding of a man that may be said to write"
~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
"Don't
permit the student to write about something that doesn't interest her.
"This is a dead end of frustration and bad habits.
"Be in tune with the
students passions and interests, fears and dreams, and encourage her to
write about them.
"The
passion to be understood is almost universal, and the student who sees
herself growing in effectiveness while expressing herself will likely do
so more frequently and with [increasing] skill."

I love about this book is that it really breaks down HOW to do TJEd by
letting you look into the lives of a TJEd family and see how all the
components are implemented. I HIGHLY recommend this book if you are
serious about integrating the TJEd lifestyle into your family/homeschool
life."
-Valerie Atwood

better understand and apply the principles of a Thomas Jefferson
Education. Every time I refer to it, I am once again amazed at the
wisdom it contains and the answers waiting for me there."
