The homeschooled kid writes a story.

Today I began teaching history chronologically, and using a little method we homeschoolers like to call unit studies. Unit studies teach a variety of subjects using one topic. We began with cavemen today and talked about how humans have basic needs including food, shelter, clothing and the sort. This discussion evolved into covering the need for humans to have intellectual and physical companionship. We also recognized the need to cooperate and procreate to ensure the survival of the human race. I then gave the kids a creative writing assignment to come up with a story covering the things we talked about.  I'll start with the eldest.
