Here is a quote from a Home School Enrichment Blogger:
…Recently, I was paging through my old portfolios we had been keeping in storage; looking over pictures of projects and field trips, reading an original story or poem I had penned years ago tucked in among the English assignments. I was struck with the thought that these portfolios were more than just school files – they were the chronicles of each year of my growing and education. In a way, each one represents a chapter out of my
life.
— Jessica Eve deCastro, Home School Enrichment
Born to Draw is a great way to use as unit study or project methods that explore a topic by applying many different resources. The Born to Draw Step-by-Step project are a great way to introduce drawing in core curriculum.
Parents of interest-led learners have two basic obligations. First, they must engage their children fully in the world. This ensures that each child will have a fair opportunity to form interests that reflect the broad spectrum of human experience.
Second, parents must facilitate the learning process. They may need to look outside the home for resources tailored to their children’s evolving interests. This could mean a special class, a mentor, or anything else leading to a deeper understanding of a subject.
