An epilogue is an added section at the end of a story that acts as a conclusion to what has happened. Think of a favorite novel that does not already include an epilogue. Now write one for it titled: Ten Years Later.

What a year 2020 has been for online learning!
You shattered every class registration number we’ve ever achieved. We sold out spring, summer, and fall sessions (over 200 classes) filled with thousands of students and families.
Together with our trained professional staff, your children and teens produced (quite literally) hundreds of thousands of words in thousands of papers. We’re so impressed!
One student described our classes this way:
Organized, and helpful. It doesn’t feel like a chaotic mess like some online classes.
Another student said:
Everyone here is actually a serious writer, not just there for the snacks.
We’re not finished yet! The winter/spring line-up sparkles with the widest variety of online writing classes seen anywhere.
Register early to lock in your seat for a fabulous 2021 of writing with your kids!

Ready for a secret? Your kids don’t know they’re writing in this class. They think they’re talking! They type their thoughts into the classroom and click “Post Reply” which publishes their brilliance for all to read.
The thinking they do is transmitted down their arms, through their hands, out their fingers, onto the screen. This written expression feels like talking, but it is in fact writing! Voila!
Winter/Spring is a great time to JUMP into Brave Writer online writing classes. If you want to reboot your homeschool experience of writing, let us help you!
Two easy words: Which first?
Choice is powerful for children. Sometimes we get into command mode where we look over the head of the child and direct them to an activity or an action we want them to take. The lack of eye contact, combined with our insistence, may lead to resistance. One way to gain cooperation is to slow down. Start with eye contact. You may have to bend at the knees and bring your head down to eye-level with a small child.
Consider what it is you want done. If you need your child to brush teeth and make her bed, you can give your child a sense of being valued by asking which they’d like to do first. The small step of respect for a child’s need to have control and choice often leads to happy cooperation. The focus on getting them to do what you need them to do without any meaningful choice leads to a feeling of being controlled. And frankly, nobody likes that feeling.
Tuck this phrase into your hip pocket for when you return to table time work or household activities with your kids.
By giving your children the option of ordering how they do their work, or how they cooperate with the household, or how they entertain themselves, you allow them to envision how they marshal their energy.
Are they more likely to choose the hard thing first with the happier, easier thing after as a reward? Or do they need the energy boost of fun or ease before tackling what’s difficult or boring?
See what happens!
