"Have Fun With Creative Writing" (with husband Dave)
Stymied by how to fan the creative spark in your child? Through skits and fun writing activities, the Jacksons break it down into do-able bites and take the scare out of story writing. Go home armed with sample writing activities you can use with your own homeschoolers, which can build toward that completed story, as well as a host of other ideas to help your family have fun with creative writing!

"Using Historical Fiction as a Teaching Tool" (with husband Dave)
Are your kids bored with history? Tired of facts and dates? Help the past come alive by using story (historical fiction) as your springboard to a whole learning unit. Once kids identify with a story's characters and the times in which they live, build on their curiosity to integrate history, geography, social customs, literature, and language arts--even Church history. The Jacksons will provide teaching strategies for using historical fiction, offer helpful resources and web sites for hands-on research, and recommend some excellent historical fiction as a place to start.
