Have you ever been so busy getting things done that you lose sight of why those things matter in the first place? It’s easy to get caught on the hamster wheel of life and forget our purpose for running. So in this week’s episode, I’m taking a few minutes to reflect and catch my breath and remember the reasons that writing is so important.?
In this episode, I discuss
✅How good writing skills are essential for academic success even if you’re not a liberal arts major
✅How being a strong writer can help you land your dream job
✅The value of writing in day-to-day life
✅How writing can help you improve your vocabulary and become a better speaker
Plus much more, including suggestions for helping your student to focus on writing.
This episode will inspire you to make writing a top priority in your homeschool classroom.
If you are looking for some tools to help you with writing, then head over to my website, where you’ll find lots of free resources, including the thesis statement workshop which will walk you through the process of creating that crucial thesis statement, a skill that is fundamental to good writing.
The thesis statement workshop has plenty of examples and places for students to practice writing their own thesis statements. Plus an answer key for you. It’s a really great resource, so please take advantage of that.
