What are Unit Studies?

Unit studies focus, in-depth studies on a topic selected. For example, would you say and your child to investigate how ancient Egypt. They would gather books, materials and resources to develop a reading and activity program and time line to follow. One unit Study is generally designed to last anywhere from one quarter (3 months) for one semester (6 months), although they could be more or less, depending on how They deeply into the topic that you busy studying.

Shall I sketch out my own unit study or to buy a prepackaged?

That depends on how much time you have, how much money you spend and how he is confident about implementing a self together. Probably the most difficult task in the Putting together your own study is to have good reference, fiction and nonfiction books to your chosen topic in context. This is very important, because these are the core of your study. If you are looking in your local library, especially if you live in a smaller town, it can be difficult to find what you want. Amazon.com is a good place to research books on the subject of the investigation and, very often, you can find them, for a great deal on E-bay or Abe pounds rel = "nofollow" href = "http://www.abebooks.com"> (http://www.abebooks.com).

It can be quite fun to study together a unit, But if that sounds a little too overwhelming, or you are new to homeschooling, you can begin to study with a prefabricated unit.

The Anatomy of a unit of study

Using the example of ancient Greece, a unit of study, as a rule, these elements:

  • Core books: Depending on reading level: A Children's Homer, The Golden Fleece, the Iliad, D'Aulaire's Greek myths.
  • Hands on Activities: design model, a Trojan horse, a toga together a mosaic or a traditional Greek meal.
  • Multi-media: Watch the Odyssey on DVD () for older children, listen to Greek myths on CD by Great Hall Productions, explore a site like Kidepede.
  • Notebook / Writing: It's a good idea to hold together something like a notebook, together learned all the things in your study. This might be easier for younger Children with colorful sketches or paged through the book, photos of completed projects with short paragraphs inserted or captions. Older children will be assigned able essays on various parts of your study, such as "write a 500 word paper on the Peloponnesian War."

Prepackaged Unit Studies

Beautiful Feet: These are very well done. You can only purchase the unit study guide and you collect your own materials or you can Purchase a complete package, which uses the books as well as contains. * Please note, their materials are decidedly Protestant, the study is a medieval unity bit anti-Catholic .*

Greenleaf Press: These are very Christian and not quite as comprehensive and as well as Beautiful Feet created, in my opinion. I particularly enjoyed the Old Testament Study Guide.

KONOS: This is a unique unit study program in that it exclusively for be used to teach all subjects. KONOS studies a trait such as attention, order, obedience, etc., for a month or two. At the same time, science social studies, art, music, great literature, health, safety, and Bible studies integrated into the device. Each volume is really a teacher's guide, always involves the activities for K-8th grade.

In summary, unit studies, a great hands-on, family-oriented method of homeschooling Their children. Whether you supplement with the units of study or use a program like KONOS complete, you will be into some fun and exciting learning adventure with your kids!
