How would you like to invent a fantasy world or create your own language -- and have it count as school?
That's pretty much what I'm doing as a teacher at CHECK (one of the local homeschool co-ops) for the next four months. I get to "teach" middle school and high school students about linguistics/grammar by having them write a language and about sociology by having them imagine a world and then write it a mythology.
We had our first classes this Wednesday, and, personally, I had a lot of fun. It makes my nerd side happy, and, hopefully, the kids will actually learn something, even if they don't realize it.
--Now I just have to figure out how to keep four new languages and fourteen new worlds straight...

Jessica....where is the home-school co-op you are working with. I have a friend that is homeschooling her son, and he loves that kind of stuff.
Good to read your blog too!
CHECK is a local homeschool co-op that meets at Bethel on Wednesdays.
