Have you ever wanted to use Unit Studies in your
homeschool, but didn’t know where to begin? Or have you
tried one, but it just didn’t work for your family?
Learn how to identify and understand the three different
types of Unit Studies, then find success with unit
studies by learning to choose the type that works for
you.
As a definition, the basic concept of unit studies is
using one topic or literary selection to incorporate the
majority of school subjects, especially: science,
history, social studies and geography, writing, art and
reading. Most times, math and grammar concepts are
studied separately from the unit, but can be practiced
within its context. You
can find Unit Studies on the Renaissance, how plants
grow,
Charlotte’s Web or responsibility. How does one
choose which unit study works for them and their family?
After we have an essential understanding of the basic
varieties of unit studies, we can better assess our
needs, styles and which methods will meet our
requirements. And you can MAKE UNITS YOURS!
