Keep Homeschool Fun

• Apr. 25, 2007 - Getting Ready

I've been busy working on the two workshop/presentations I'm going to be giving at the conference next week and I'm just about done.

 

1) The Impact of Christian Fiction

I'll discuss some unique qualities of fiction that help it get straight to the hearts of readers. We'll see that storytelling and the invention of Christian fiction was an example set by Jesus.

 

2) Priming the Imagination

Many people feel as if they have a great story to tell but find it hard to start. This session contains several tips in jump-starting your imagination to work for you.

 

I'll also be on a few different panels (self publishing and writing for children) and on the Friday, I'll be conducting some workshops for school students, along with several others. That is actually more daunting than the adult sessions. Having the eyes of heaps of teenagers fixed on me is far more scary so when I get through that one, the adult sessions ought to be a breeze.

This sounds so interesting. We should have you do a virtual workshop for us. ;o)
Don't worry about the teenagers. I do juggling workshops with them at a couple of libraries. If you treat them with respect they usually respond in kind. It is wonderful that you are doing this for them.
Thanks so much for your comment. Knowing that I have such sweet friends is very comforting. I know I am greatly blessed to have met so many nice people in this blogging world!
Peace and Laughter,

Sounds great. Coffee Mom and I are off to a homeschool conference in June. We are staying overnight and I am looking forward to it.

Paula - These sessions sound great and are perfectly suited for your talent and experience (in my opinion!) About the teenagers: First of all, remember that they are there because they want to be there, as I'm assuming they are interested in writing, so that's a plus. Also, there may be some kids who don't laugh at your humor or appear to be listening at times but, believe me, they ARE listening. I don't know if this helps but I'm confident that the class will go well and, you're right, after that class, the adult classes WILL be a breeze! I'm really excited for you!

They sound great! If I was a writer, I would love to take them. I admire you for thinking the adult session would be easy, and agree that the teen session would be hard. I like an audience of about 13 and under. I will be praying for peace and confidence for you. You will be wonderful and it will be so much fun! Enjoy the whole experience!

That was from me! And I also wanted to say that I know lots of teens in our co-op who would love that class. There will be lots there who will love it, too!
