Social Studies Essay by Jack
May 21st, 2009 | 
Author: Jack has been using Time4Learning for his school for the last several months and I’m very happy with the curriculum. One of the lessons he’s done this week in Social Studies was to research and write an essay on the religious beliefs of the West Africans prior to 750AD. It took me some time to get him to do the research on exactly that without him going off on a tangent about just Voodoo, but below is his final essay. I have not done any editing on spelling or wording, mostly because I thought it was cute the way he wrote it all. Can you tell he’s a story teller?

Summertime!
So I think it’s kinda funny that my sons are all happy that it’s Summer Vacation. They are home all the time, they don’t have to “go to” school, but somehow “Summer” means something extra special for them. I know that part of it is because they are watching TV and have friends and family who are in “traditional” school and everyone is talking about school being out. But I wonder if they think that things are going to be THAT different?

Last time I wrote about a lesson that I was giving my boys on leadership and reports. Well it turns out that they both did quite well. Roger chose some interesting and unique names and the one we chose for him to do was on Joseph Campbell, a philosophy professor who influenced many great people. Jackson chose mostly presidents, inventors and the like, and we asked him to do his report on Benjamin Franklin. I was very pleased with both of their reports. Read the rest of this entry »
