Can anyone suggest a good site (or sites) that would offer some ideas for inspiration, informative, funny or clever paragraphs for my children to practice handwriting through copywork? I am not looking for religious words, more like the Declaration of Indpendence type things. I know Queen Homeschool has copybooks, but when I saw them I thought paying $10 for a photocopied booklet was a bit steep. Thanks for the help!

For copywork, I just choose good passages out of whatever book we happen to be reading. If we're reading _Charlotte's Web_, I'll pick a paragraph from the chapter we just read and have my son copy it. If we're reading_A Tale of Two Cities_, same thing. The Dec. of Ind. and Constitution are both available in book form, probably from your local library (that's where we get almost all of our books).
WriteShop has a book of copywork, but it only has 16 "passages". They have the student copy it twice, then write it from dictation twice over two weeks. They also have a section in Resources on their website with links to other copywork/dictation sources (I've included a link to that page below).
in case you dont use quote marks " " ... Then sure. Its like asserting the paragraph you placed there grew to become into yours. You the two use quote marks if youre copying word for word and then internet site on the tip of the paragraph ...... or you paraphrase it and the positioning the place you acquire that archives from. wish this helps
