How much narration do you do?

Post by LovingJesus » Thu Jan 03, 2013 8:48 am

We are newer to HOD and to narration. I have read some Charlotte Mason and like what I have read, but I have never applied it as a teacher.

I am wondering how much narration my boys should be doing for Bigger and Beyond (fabulous programs Carrie! :D )?

Should they narrate history & story time? The Bible had the good questions that went with it yesterday. Is that narrated too?

How should I start? :D

In Christ,
Carin

Carin,

Your HOD guides will tell you precisely what/when to narrate within the Reading About History and Science boxes.

Thank you Katrina! I read the appendix today and that was helpful. I did try to have them both do narration for history. It actually went well, and better than I expected.

Is story time just for fun then? I didn't try to have them narrate the story.

It does say to narrate for science in today's box. It sounds like it might always do that. Does that mean narrations rotate?

I figured it out now! :D It is in the story time boxes too.

Carrie & Julie,

Carin,

I'm so glad that you are enjoying your start with HOD and that you were able to figure out the answer to your question. :D The ladies on the board are wonderful at helping, aren't they! :D We pray The Lord may richly bless your year. :D

Blessings,
