When We Unschool

Posted in Schoolday Doings

. . . we get a graphic novel about a "practical" girl who accidentally writes herself into a book and comes to discover that the fairyland things she didn't believe in (like unicorns) are real.

And we get a ballet based on the story of Cinderella, to be performed next week. Here is an invitation for my husband to perform as the prince:

Oh I do hope that indeed, next week you shall be the prince, the lovely prince from Cinderella, oh, next week we shall have a ballet with the most hearty feast you will cook up... shall you? Oh my, my grandmother is coming on the day of the ballet...she is, and she is not, and yet she is, the evil stepmother...

oh-- and oh again... oh dear me, we shall still need a king, a Grand duke, and Anastasia! Oh please and please again, please send your answer soon as possible, sir.

Can you see why teaching writing to this child is so perplexing?

Happy Weekend!

She certainly is outstanding! Very impressive, both examples - the Cinderella one is very funny, and I love the story idea too (I'd like to read it myself, actually). I don't know that you *could* ... or even should ... teach writing to such an amazing writer.
