You Do Not Need To Know All History – It Repeats Way Too Often<\/p>\n
Let me start by telling you that when I say “pitching,” I mean any time you are telling your story — whether written or verbal — in order to get someone interested in it. When you share about your script at your writer’s group, you are pitching. When you tell your cousin or your plumber about it, you are pitching. When you write a query letter, you are pitching. When you go to pitchfests, you are pitching. Every time you tell your story, you could think of it as pitching. When you look at it that way, then you can develop your pitching skill by noticing what works or doesn’t work and then making adjustments as you need to.<\/p>\n
I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with my daughter’s history teacher, “Ms. Jones”. Ms. Jones was full of excitement as she showed me the class syllabus and shared the upcoming activities and projects her class would be completing this year. Ms. Jones informed me about some ideas she had to engage her students in relating the past with current events. This included using music (an all time favorite), literature, current films, field trips, etc. I for one wanted to join the class and absorb all that Ms. Jones had to offer.<\/p>\n
Make sure that you take a number one fan approach to your child’s reading progress. You want to not just know what they are reading, but how well. You want to know if the book challenges them or is too easily to properly place them with the right level of book so they are constantly learning.<\/p>\n
Collect together what you have already, photos, documents, heirlooms. Ask family members if they have any family documents they will share with you to assist your search.<\/p>\n
