Welcome to Episode #2 of Our Homeschool History. I don't talk much about politics---ever! But our beginning to homeschooling was very politically and socially-driven (complete with home visits, principal meetings, and much more!). So this episode is about our first year with legal action, Dr. Raymond Moore's visit, fear, and a little politics.

Here is the scoop of today's episode (my only political episode ever--I promise!):

• The first dozen families homeschooling in our little town

I have so much to share with you about our thirty-two years of homeschooling!

I want so many great things for you and your students!

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I explain my methods for teaching sentences and clauses (phrases will be in episode #52).

Here are some of the highlights of this episode:

• CAVES—Capital, All makes sense, Verb, End mark, Subject; how to teach students to recognize a sentence with that acronym (see my CAVES posters and reference ring cards here!) https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sentence-Building-Posters-and-Reference-Rings-Grammar-Posters-6978892

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I talk about the littles. The second and third graders who aren’t quite through all of their phonics lessons yet (in many cases). The ones who would love to write if someone would take them by the hand and help them.

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I explain my methods for teaching paragraph breaks and give a lot of my “paragraph theory” and “pre-writing theory.” Paragraph breaks is often a difficult concept for students. And teaching paragraph breaks is also difficult.

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode,  I continue with more essay teaching for middle school/junior high—but with a “research slat” that helps this age group move from essay writing to report writing. And… you can use the Teacher's Notebook over and over again to teach any three paragraph body (optional opening and closing paragraphs) that are three aspects of one thing!

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I teach a five-paragraph essay—a  super-duper fun writing project for students in fourth through eighth grades (with tweaks for going lower or higher in grades for this assignment!). The reason I say it is super-duper fun is because my students light up when they get to write these fun five paragraph types of projects. They are fun essays that lean into research just enough to get students gathering info to make their essays sing!

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I am (once again!) excited to teach you how I teach! I’m especially excited because this episode involves teaching elementary students. Yay for the littles!

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, we turn our attention to another mechanism to help students learn to write informational paragraphs. Writing informational paragraphs in which students get information from a source, outline from it, and write a paper in their own words based on that source’s content can be overwhelming. We teach students how to read, comprehend, and synthesize information by using various outlining approaches, mapping, brainstorming, etc.
