Unit Study Curriculum Index
One of the popular homeschooling methods is the unit study.
If you are tired of the textbook approach and want to try something new, I would
suggest a good unit study curriculum. I've said before that one of the
nice things about the homeschool movement is that many homeschoolers wrote their
own curriculum and then published it for others to use. You can benefit
from all the great choices!
On this page you will find the research based
Civil War Unit Study by Pat Wesolowski for
the student who's a Civil War buff. She's also written another research
based unit study called
Inventors, Inventions, and Entrepreneurs. This study will encourage
your child to start a business, invent a product, or try an apprenticeship.
Kathryn Stout wrote Guides to History Plus
as an easy to use multi-level guide for studying any time period or culture!
She shows you how to turn your history study into an in-depth unit study. Ruth
Beechick goes back to Biblical beginnings with her
Genesis
Finding Our Roots.
On other pages at Lamp Post Homeschool Store, we offer
Unit Study Resources such as the All Through the
Ages Literature Guide and Valerie Bendt's
Unit Studies Made Easy. These are "must haves" if you are going to
pursue unit studies.
For the upper elementary ages, the Prairie Primer
makes use of the Little House on the Prairie books. If your children are
interested in that series, it offers structured lesson plans while giving you
lots of choices.
Another unit study from Cadron Creek is Further Up
and Further In. It is for the next age group. It is based on the
Chronicles of Narnia, which is sparking the interest of a new generation with
the Focus on the Family Radio Theater
Chronicles
of Narnia Audio Drama CDs and the new movies that are in production.
Where
the River and Brook Meet uses the Anne of Green Gables series as the
literature base. Designed for grades 7 to 12, your student will study the
Victorian era in this one year curriculum.
America An Integrated
Curriculum by Chris Roe is a literature-based integrated American history
curriculum. It has three 11 week studies that make up a year of study for grades
3 to 6. The events in Peter Marshall's
Light and the Glory series for children are the focus while other good books
round out the study of America.
