We had so much fun reading all your entries in July for our
Create-A-Word contest. You all came up with such creative ideas
to describe the "Act of using humor to teach something". Thank
you all for participating! Here is the original entry for you to see all of our wonderfully creative words/terms.
The term I use for what I do (teaching speech communication skills
using humor) is Communication FUNdamentals. The word I usually
use for using humor to teach school is FUNschooling. The
following are the winners/runners up for the July Create-A-Word Contest:
3rd Runner Up: JustGiveMeStarbucks for HAVIDUMORISM! ha, from ha-ha vid, from the Latin for "see" umor, from the Latin for "humor" ism, from the Latin for "an action" (example: the act of teaching)
So...havidumorism = helping others to understand through the use of humor.
(For the most realistic/creative use of roots!)
2nd Runner Up: HeidiHomeschools for Edularity! The act of using hilarity or humor in your education!
Winner of the July Create-A-Word Contest: servingtheKingofkings for Scholaughticism!
Our winner will receive a free Laminated and Bound Personalized eStoRybOok! Our three runners up will receive free PDF Personalized eStoRybOoks!
And since you all did such a great job, each of you who entered will
receive an eCoupon for 25% off any Art of Eloquence product!

Don't let your child graduate without the Art of Eloquence.
Christian Speech Communication FUNdamentals.
Because talk is cheap, but effective communication skills are priceless!
My husband and I are so happy about this! I just want to clarify that the winning word, "scholaughticism" was from my husband, not me. The eStorybook will be a wonderful birthday gift for our youngest son (he'll turn 5 in Oct.). I'll email you. Thanks again for this fun contest and for the very cool prize!
I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines.

This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus.
