EXTREME MAKEOVER:

HOME TUTOR EDITION

Houses are filled with blank areas primed (literally) for education: walls, doors, and ceilings. Read biographies and you may notice that famous figures found inspiration in what their parents let them put on household surfaces. As a ten-year-old growing up during the Spanish Civil War, Che Guevara had maps of Spain with flags that marked key locations on the revolutionary front. Remember how Abe Lincoln wrote with charcoal on a shovel? That wasn’t all he wrote on. Lincoln also used the charcoal to practice math on his home’s walls and doorposts.

Let’s review your home room by room, thinking about how to maximize the potential of each room and turn each separately—and all collectively—into an educational powerhouse.

TUTOR TOOLBOX

These are essentials for any home; if they’re not on a wall, they should at least be accessible to all easily:

• US map

• World map

• Timeline of world history and/or religions, either in poster form or created and added to by your child
