Assignments and Action Steps

Find some famous classical (representational) piece of art the you do not currently love. Listen to, read, ponder, and observe it. Take time with it and approach it as a student. During and after, keep a “pedagogical diary” and record your thoughts on the process and how you might use it to help your students or children to have the experience of growing in love for the classics. Then, share the results with your colleagues, academic team, or another homeschooling parent. Consider having your academic team do this together and then share the results and discuss at a team meeting. If you are a homeschool parent, consider sharing with your spouse or a homeschooling friend with similar philosophy of education.
