Whom would you choose to write your biography? In Whom would you choose to write your biography? In Forms V & VI—that is our 10th, 11th, and 12th grades—Charlotte Mason assigned biographies or memoirs of the authors her students were reading in Literature. Alongside the reading of Jane Austen’s “Emma,” students had “A Memoir of Jane Austen” by her nephew, J.E. Austen-Leigh. The book offers an intimate look at both Jane’s family life and work through letters and family recollections. When a novel by Charlotte Brontë was assigned, it’s the biography by her dear friend Elizabeth Gaskell that shines further light on the author’s life. As I looked over the biographies assigned by Miss Mason, I noticed a pattern: none were salacious, they were most often written by other novelists—full of anecdotes, they spoke of the author’s character and the life that helped form it. Many were written by contemporaries, which offered a view from the time period in which the author lived. They all held to the standard of a “living book.” These are the qualities that can help guide us when we choose biographies for our own highschoolers. @rbaburina . . . . . . . . . #livingbooks #janeausten #homeschoolhighschool #charlottebrontë #highschoolliterature #biographies #charlottemasoneducation
“Religion,” wrote Rose Amy Pennethorne, “cannot be “Religion,” wrote Rose Amy Pennethorne, “cannot be taught, as it is a matter of faith, practice and experience.” Scripture, on the other hand, can and should be taught. “Private interpretation is a fruitful source of private difficulty,” she warned, and so “scripture reading should be combined with scripture teaching.” Pennethorne wrote these words in her first year as Organising Secretary of the PNEU. Beginning with the principle that children are born persons, she carefully unfolded Mason’s method for Bible lessons in a powerful Parents’ Review article. She showed how Scripture teaching should be a “handmaid of religion,” where the knowledge and fear of God are not its prerequisite but rather its fruit. Pennethorne’s 1921 piece is as relevant today as when it was published a century ago. However, it has been hidden away all this time in a few libraries around the world. Now, thanks to our transcription team, we bring it to the internet for the very first time. Read or hear it at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff
“Most of the time of the Nursery Folk is spent out “Most of the time of the Nursery Folk is spent out-of-doors, and rightly so. Therefore it is quite an easy thing to help them to be friends with Mother Nature.” (J.R. Smith, Nature in the Nursery, PR28) @tessakeath
We recently spent the season of Christmas celebrat We recently spent the season of Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. But the Gospel of John opens with a prologue that reminds us that the Son of God did not come into existence at his incarnation. Rather, He was in existence before the beginning of time. Today we begin a new journey through Charlotte Mason’s seven volumes of poems entitled “The Saviour of the World.” In the opening poem of her series (see the profile link), she praises the One who was with God from all time: the Word who enlightens “every man who comes into the world.” May your heart be enlightened as you praise Him too. @artmiddlekauff 📷: @aolander . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #saviouroftheworld #gospelofJohn #inthebeginningwastheword #theWordbecameflesh #thewordmadeflesh #jesusistheword #scripturestudy #meditateontheword #wordoflife #christianhomeschool #homeschoolers #incarnation #moonphotography #Logos #homeschooling #poetrycommunity #moon
