Look, we know learning is based on the relationship between the teacher and the learner. Instead, it’s what you, the coach, need to do to understand and partner with your child as they grow into a writer, into a legitimate author of their own voice.
It’s not a top-down approach where the adult has the power to assign and the child must comply. You just won’t find ones that fill you with dread.) (Though you certainly will find writing project ideas. You won’t find anything like that in this guide, thank god. Write a descriptive paragraph about a bird with a topic sentence, three supporting details and a concluding sentence. The Writer’s Jungle (TWJ) is your map.Īnd TWJ is not necessarily about what your child should write. Why do we need GPS to drive in an unknown city? Maps! We need maps to get to where we’re going. So why does a homeschool parent need The Writer’s Jungle?
I don’t want my kid’s experience with writing to be a hot mess of mom wrecks. Not to mention the number of wrecks I’d have because I can’t both steer and check my blind spot, turn on my signal, or honk at other drivers. (I live in Atlanta. I could use my teeth to steer the car (and look ridiculous) but why make it harder on myself? Or embarrassing. Learning to be a writing coach without The Writer’s Jungle would be like learning to drive with my hands tied behind my back. Of course, there’s no one right answer for every situation or family, but I am surprised by the ‘no’ answers.Īs I see it from the end of this high school writing road, my answer is yes. Valid question! I wondered it myself in the beginning. I frequently see homeschoolers new to Brave Writer ask if The Writer’s Jungle is necessary.
