That’s why I created my Filmmaking Course for Kids to explain how everything from the camera angle and camera movement, to lighting and audio can effect the story. Every decision when laying out a scene affects your story. Would it surprise you if the child jumped up and started laughing and dancing? Probably, because all those details were chosen to make you FEEL a certain way. A dark room with just a spot light on a child curled up in the corner of the room, you hear dripping as the camera moves lower to be eye level with the child. As a filmmaker I can say, there are TONS of ways to tell a story without writing.Ĭlose your eyes and imagine this. I found a way to express myself with more visual art like photography and filmmaking. Being a poor writer doesn’t mean I don’t have stories to tell. I want them to freely express themselves the way I get to with my art. Am I really at the same level as a 10 year old? Then I thought, I don’t want my kids to feel this poorly about their writing. Writing Curriculum for the Struggling WriterĪt first this made me feel horrible.
I think honestly I’m somewhere between partnership writing and faltering ownership. I often have to “dumb down” my thoughts because I can’t spell a word #truthtalk. I’ve never been confident in my writing ability. That’s the reason starting this blog was such a HUGE deal for me personally. “ Child needs help with spelling, punctuation, and getting rich vocabulary to the page.” My husband, being my editor of this blog, can say that’s 100% true. I encourage you to look through each of those, but what really struck me was, while everything she was saying made TOTAL sense, I actually might still be in partnership writing. Then, awhile after watching that periscope I found a podcast where Julie was talking about the stages of writing. It’s like she could see all the struggles I had growing up and at the same time made me feel completely normal for honestly still struggling in the LA department. I honestly don’t even remember exactly what the topic of her periscope was, I just remember quite literally getting teary eyed because Julie has this way of speaking right to your soul. I was first introduced to Brave Writer during one of Julie Bogart’s periscopes last year (Julie Bogart is the creator of Brave Writer and my superhero).
#BRAVE WRITER FALTERING OWNERSHIP FULL#
(this post may contain affiliate links – please read full disclosure policy)Īs many of you know, I’m dyslexic and always struggled in school. How Did My Experiences Struggling Writing Lead Me To Brave Writer? The Brave Writer lifestyle is about creating a language rich environment for kids to thrive in. WHAT? Did she really just say a Language Arts Curriculum was a lifestyle? Yes, yes I did. At its core, it’s a Language Arts curriculum but really it’s SO MUCH MORE. What is Brave Writer? If you’re new to this homeschooling world you might not know what Brave Writer is, I know I didn’t when I first started.
