This week our house has been turned into a movie studio. My three sons (I love saying that!) are making their second movie. The boys are very much into "Star Wars". For Halloween they were all characters from that movie epic; so, we have some homemade costumes that are being reused for the movie. My oldest son has taught himself how to use Photoshop Premier and Movie Maker. They are filming with our old digital camera which only gives them 15 seconds to get a contiguous scene. It really is quite amazing that they are thinking out camera shots and locations considering that they range in age from 8 to 13. This is not something they are doing for homeschool but, this makes me think that unschooling is the way to go.
We do not currently unschool but, if I went somewhere to learn something I was mildly interested in, I think if they made me sit down and fill out reams of paper before I was able to do any hands on work I would lose interest. Ummm, looks like I have some more thinking to do.
