		<description>When I started homeschooling our daughter last year (her junior year), I discovered that my former bookworm hated reading.....but LOVED movies. (huh!) 

However, most of the movies she enjoyed were, in fact, based on books. That was my clue. I devised my own curriculum for that year, and at the end of the year she had read nearly 13 books (and some of them were the likes of Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and Little Women). She would read the book, then watch the movie, and then compare/contrast story line, character development, etc.(We also viewed each character through a Biblical &quot;filter&quot; based on John and Stasi Eldredge&#039;s book Captivating) She would write a paper covering each book/movie. We both learned so much about worldviews and literary styles. I called it &quot;Film and Literature&quot;. A great way to use delight directed learning....and now she enjoys reading so much more (which was my goal from the beginning!)</description>

		<description>Christy - could you explain more about what you&#039;re feeling?  Maybe some of us could help you sort through your uneasiness.  What does delight directed learning mean to you?</description>

		<description>hmmm...this is twice this morning that I saw something about delight directed learning. How come that makes me feel much more uneasy than it should?</description>
