I have been a fan of poetry since I was a little girl. I always loved reading poetry books and listening to poetry being read aloud. This carried on as I got older. When I was in highschool in the 90s, I used to visit coffee shops to listen to their poetry reading nights. I even participated in a few! I know, now I am aging myself!

Homeschool transcripts are being well accepted by colleges, especially when two important things come along for the ride -Good course descriptions and great reference letters. A few years ago, my daughter and I were finishing our transcripts and starting on college applications. Now she is a senior in college. It is so fun to see her there, loving it! Are you thinking about homeschooling high school, but are wondering about those related tasks, like writing course descriptions, or things like "Where should I put my teen's high school activities, on the transcript, or ? On campus, heading to class. Below are 6 tips to help you plan for high school and the possibility of dealing with the college admissions process. Let's start with activities and awards and what to do about them. 1. What about activities, volunteering, awards, etc? Where should I put them on the transcript? There is a place for these on the actual college application itself. It does not need to go on the transcript. I found that the colleges liked seeing the activities, etc, on the application. You can list your teen's activities, leadership, awards, honor society, volunteer hours, jobs held on the application itself. 2. Choosing a Homeschool Name - I recommend using a homeschool name, like Jones Academy, as opposed to Live and Learn Homeschool, as it gives your homeschool more formal, respected tone for the transcript. 3. The homeschool transcript should include all the courses taken, at home, and any outside courses, too. That way, your homeschool transcript serves as the clearinghouse for all of your teen's high school coursework. This gives the college admissions officers one place to see everything, at a glance. And that is what they are looking for. Just put an "*" next to the courses that were done from outside sources, and a simple note at the bottom of the transcript, stating these were done at whatever place your child did them, the name of the college, or school, etc. When your teen applies to college, you will send your homeschool transcript via their application to the colleges. But be sure to also request any transcripts for credits earned from outside sources, such as community college, or public school, to be sent to the colleges. 4. Request transcripts from all outside sources as well, such as community college, any online courses taught by someone else, where credit was granted from them, etc. Be sure that these are sent directly to each colleges that your student is applying to. I found that it was easier to have them snail mailed to the colleges, than to try to upload them onto the application itself. 5. What are course descriptions anyway, and do I need to include them? Course Descriptions Many colleges request that you also send in course descriptions, as you know. Sometimes this can be simply a sentence but some colleges may want a short paragraph. Note that not all colleges require course descriptions – please check with the college in question. Resources for Course Descriptions HSLDA has a nice article on Creating a Course Description. They also have sample descriptions here. Quick Start Homeschool has an article with sample descriptions called Writing Course Descriptions for High School. I have high school planning forms and tips for course descriptions in my book on high school mentioned below. And finally, let's talk reference letters... Reference Letters 6. If your student is taking an online course, or something at community college, then you already have a teacher to ask for a reference. But many of us don't have one available, nor do we have a school counselor to ask. Letters from our student's activities can be just the ticket. We used letters from Youth and Government, volunteering, and irish dance. Often the leaders and teachers at co-op know our kids so well, that they can be a great source for reference letters.

Story Retell can be a difficult task! Students often forget the details without visual support. This resource can help! Each student is instructed on how to retell a story by: First: Tell about the details! Who/What/When/Where Next: Tell about the problem in the story. What's wrong? Last: Tell about the solution to the problem. How did the problem get fixed? The first 10 slides help your student by putting guided clues to the retell in the speech bubble. The LAST 8 slides remove the prompts, so your student can learn how to retell independently. Each of the 18 stories provide relevant details, a problem and a solution in an easy to read format. This lesson was designed for a teletherapy or digital platform. You can download it, and store it on your laptop, iPad or computer for use on a SMART BOARD device. Easy for a traveling therapist who is on the GO, or just to spice up your tabletop therapy with some technology! Students LOVE holding the iPad while retelling each story presented.
