The Arrow Evaluation and Planning Tool for Writing (Ages 8 - 12) Do you wonder what kinds of writing projects to plan for your younger child this year? Are you uncertain about what level your child is in her development as a writer? The Arrow Evaluation and Planning Tool for Writing is a 23 page guide that will enable you to look closely at your child's writing skills and then to make a month-by-month plan for writing projects that will be both suited to her skill level but also leading her toward growth into the next developmental phase. This tool is unique in that it gives you fresh insight into who your child is, as well as how to make use of her interests and studies to create tailor-made writing projects for each month of the year. This tool is the equivalent of two issues of the Arrow. This is a digital product which will be available through digital download when you purchase. A link will come to your email in-box. Cost: $12.00 The Slingshot Evaluation and Planning Tool for Writing (Ages 13-18) High school is a time when lots of mothers worry that their kids "aren't doing enough writing." You can quell those anxieties by planning the kind of writing that will help your child to "cover the bases" as well as stir up new energy for the task of writing. The Slingshot Evaluation and Planning Tool for Writing allows you to look at your child's interests and studies in light of his developmental stage in writing. It is a 27 page guide that helps you evaluate the writing your child has done to date while then helping you to pick and choose writing formats and projects that will naturally lead your teen to the next level. This tool also gives specific suggestions for the types of writing that you can expect your child to produce over the course of a year including suggestions for how to organize those ideas incrementally. Each project can be tailor-made to suit either your child's interests of studies for the coming year. This tool is the equivalent of two issues of the Slingshot.

This eleven page guide gives you the background and series of questions to help your kids discuss movies on a deeper level than the usual "It was really good" responses they usually offer. As your children learn to talk well about movies, these skills naturally help them in discussing literature as well.

The Arrow: June and July Issues (2007) (Grades
3-6) June
Issue - Non-Fiction: How do you know that the non-fiction
your kids read is high quality? What are the literary elements
of non-fiction? How much non-fiction should your kids be
reading (or listening to)? Non-fiction lays a foundation
for future expository writing. Reading quality non-fiction
develops your child's writing voice in ways that fiction
doesn't. We'll explore this neglected genre of reading and
how it influences writing in the June issue of the Arrow. Both are digital downloads available when you are subscribed to a private folder for the June and July months. The issues are sold as a pair: $19.95
The Boomerang: June and July Issues (2007) (Grades 7-9)
July Issue - Booking It: Tired of dreary book reports? Why write them? Your child read the book and you know it because you saw her curled up on the sofa reading. Still, there is value in narrating a book's contents in written form. Instead of calling for those tedious book report formats, change pace and create fresh writing responses to a favorite novel. We'll look at several ways to respond to novels and non-fiction that include writing and creativity. Both are digital downloads available when you are subscribed to a private folder for the June and July months. The issues are sold as a pair: $19.95
The
Slingshot: June and July Issues
(2007) June Issue - Sources: This issue will focus on how to evaluate sources (credibility, use of Internet versus texts, the role of news media versus scholarship and so on) and how to cite them in academic writing. We'll also look at the difference between primary and secondary sources. I'll also give some tips on how to ensure proper use of the MLA guidelines for both citing sources and paper formatting. July Issue - Textual Analysis: In writing about any topic (historical, religious, literary, philosophical, political), the writer is usually called on to comment on an original (or primary) text. In this issue, I'll give you guidance on how to read a primary text and interpret it. We'll use an interrogative approach that helps the reader engage the text both analytically as well as to generate meaning. Both are digital downloads available when you are subscribed to a private folder for the June and July months. The issues are sold as a pair for $24.95
