This summer, my kids and I went to Washington DC for a week. Before our trip, I did some homework on places of interest. Since DC is rated top 10 most kids friendly cities in the States, it wasn't that hard to know where we should go. Well during the search, I stumbled upon National Gallery of Sculpture Garden website.
Immediately I thought how nice it would be for kids to read some information on the
website, pick their favorite sculpture and talk about it? Hence the assignment:
1. Pick one or two sculptures of your choice.
2. Write the following:
- Name and title of the sculpture
- What is it made of?
- Brief intro of the artist (name, nationality, specialty)
- What do you see and feel?
- Why do you like/dislike it
3. Everyone will share it next club time. Pay close attention to how you present what you write. Show enthusiasm. Nobody likes it if the presenter is not connected with the audience.
It's something short and sweet hopefully. That's why I call it "No Pressure Writing/Presentation". We'll see how it goes!
The benefit of Book Club Blog
Yay! I have now caught up with my book club starting from this summer. Too many reasons to start a blog about the club. The most beneficial for kids, parents and I at this moment is: I plan to have kids take responsibilities by reading the blog every week for activities we'll do together. No more serious business through wechat from now on! Parents, you are set free! But if your child is missing club time because he didn't finish home assignment, please don't bite me. :)
