I had my second youth class last week, with close to ten children ages 8-11. I've settled on my lesson plan for Youth 101, starting with a breath meditation, then doing a Z-string with four beginning tangles (usually crescent moon, hollibaugh, then pokeroot or leaf and flukes or florz), and finally a monotangle (bales, fassett, etc.) We do class mosaics for each tile and I pass out a recommended resources list at the end.
I always practice the tile a few times before the class; it refreshes my mind and my practice, takes me back to the beginning, to the Zen beginner's mind. And this time, I also made a canvas Z-string with basic tangles, for display.
Can't wait for the next one!
