Description from homeschooloasis.com
These books reflects the real-life, delight-directed interests of Marilyns children. It is not the actual notebooks that they created but is a report of the notebook projects. It consists of a detailed outline of contents and a thorough presentation of what the actual notebooks consists of, including: how it was laid out, length of season to complete it, the extent of moms involvement, and so forth…
My points of impact:
Collecting, recording, projects and study.
Student assumes the responsibility for their education
Projects offer a tangible direction and focus on the student's delight directed learning pursuits
Projects can take years to complete
Initially establish 'minimum requirements' for time
Do not try this with younger children, or you will be doing it on your own. (Best for adolescents)
Create a season for writing. Chronicle the projects.
OK to initiate and partially guide, if necessary.
