So this week I've been looking into lesson maps, courtesy of Lisa from Me and My House (http://frommeandmyhouse.com/led.htm). I'm really excited about these, being a visual learner. It's funny how you see things, or hear about them, and they pass on by. Then all of a sudden, there they are again and they hit you like a smack to the forehead. It's not like I've never heard of these before. I've even seen Lisa's before.
As an aside, my health is improving, including my mental perception of all that I have to do. For this reason, perhaps, looking at lesson maps doesn't seem overwhelming anymore...
At any rate, I sent a sample over to Lisa of an event map and she sent it back, expanded (from her car, no less!!!!) into the finer details, with pictures et al. Very cool! I've provided a link to her PIPEline page on my website in RMCHC News. It's worth the look. I'm going to use this for Drew's report on the 1st and 2nd Continental Congresses - hey if an almost-6-yo can do it, anyone can, right?
Now if I can figure out how to post it on the website...I posted a page, but not the 'map'. It's on the "On the Table" page in "Lesson Plans".
Another new thing: Ted, Kim and I are talking about writing a book on Liberty of Conscience. Wow! I couldn't have picked a better combination of support for such an endeavor. Although I'm not so sure I'm up to Kim's level of writing, perhaps the 3 of us will work from different angles and give a more rounded view than we would have by ourselves. God often works in 3's....
It's Saturday - dh is working, the boys and David have plans to go help the Bucholz move this afternoon. House cleaning is the order of the morning - to loud, uplifting worship music. Can't clean without the music.
But for the moment...it's quiet. Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
