Rockstar’s homework from some time ago… (Yeah I’m behind posting and trying to catch up both kids in school this week after massive festivities-hangover…)
Someone please shoot me a message if I misremembered, but I think the objective of this assignment was not so much about the choice of book, which could very well be a favorite fairytale; the exercise was for the kids to present their book review (and any props) to the class – i.e. public speaking and eye contact with their audience.
So story goes, first temptation was to choose something super “impressive” (y’know, like when Bridget Jones buys books for decoration kinda thing) but then……… Some of my friends were kind of, “Am I sending my child in with a book that’s too simple?” And then they would tell me they let their child choose the simpler book anyway because the first objective was that they be able to speak eloquently. And that’s why I’m blogging it – the theme that it’s harder to practice erm, “restraint”, to trade off complication in choice of book, for the first objective of the child being articulate in speaking about it…
Things that make ya go “Hmmmmm”
Rockstar is such a good brother to read to the Miss. Good book review by Rockstar and as usual very nice and neat handwriting.
Thank you dear for taking the time to comment even while away and I hope your trip is getting even better with each passing day!
