kandty Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I am planning on switching to HOD next school year. It looks like HOD is big on notebooking. I love the idea of notebooking, but have never been able to pull it off since my boys are not big into writing (the physical writing is the problem). Anyone have any thoughts of this? Will this be a problem if we don't do the notebooking? Does anyone have any ideas on how to start notebooking with reluctant writers?

MrsMe Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It depends which year. The notebooking includes a lot of different types of things. In CTC we've done basic copywork, writing a narration, drawing a continuous timeline, picking out a favorite blurb from a reading and drawing corresponding pictures, reading a map, and some artistic projects to include the Drawing book. A pretty big portion of HOD is writing, whether it be in any one of these forms. Perhaps they'll like it more when it is done in different ways such as these? I think to not do it would really make the program lack. Now you could tweak it, have them orally narrate or narrate via video then have them just draw the picture where it should be then move on to more writing as you see fit.

Joyofsixreboot Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We're using Bigger. I anticipated my 10yo ds would hate it. Wrong! He likes it. My 8yo dd however does not.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
