Unit Studies: Making Your Own

Advice

Amanda Bennett's Unit Study 101
In preparing a unit study, research the new topic using library materials, developing an outline that contains the most important points to learn, as well as questions to ask.

Home Schooling With Frugal Unit Studies
Unit studies allow you to use your library, community resources, the Internet, and a minimum of supplies to enable your children to learn in a fun and relaxed way. By Nannette Gilbert.

Plan a unit study on your own
Peg Flint, a homeschooling mom, has found that the best unit studies are ones she's planned herself. Here she gives us all tips.

Sample History Schedule for Dark and Middle Ages
By Lene M. Jaqua. Using this period as an example, Lene explains how to set up long-range world history unit studies for several children.

Unit Study Organization
I follow a four-year study plan that covers all of history and the major topics of science. This plan then repeats itself so each child will have had each topic three times, once in elementary, junior, and high school.
