Take an Adventure through High School Literature!

We LOVE using the combination of a Charlotte Mason / Unit Studies approach to homeschooling. It’s the base of our curriculum, our school days, and all of the novel studies we love to share with you!

The Society of Literary Adventurers is an opportunity for teens to find joy and enchantment in literature with our online book clubs for high school and join an exclusive community of like-minded folks!

Membership includes thirty-eight book units (and more coming), courses on how to write a research paper and a month-long, family-style Christmas unit, printable nature journal and unit study planner, plus several video workshops for parents about homeschooling teens.

 Each book unit includes:

• Rabbit Trails – Diving off of themes from the novel, meander down paths about pop-culture, history, biographies, poetry, music, and more.
• Magic Dust - These hands-on projects will take you into the book through science, art, games, and more.
• Vocabulary & Grammar – Copywork and dictation to help with spelling and grammar, plus literary elements, are included here.
• Writing Assignments - Covering various literary themes, each book club features a different topic and element for the essay.
• Party Time! (one per club) – This is the last lesson of each club, and includes ideas for food, decorations, and activities to celebrate the novel.

What's Included?

The Society of Literary Adventurers includes access to ALL COURSES available to high school students.  This includes:

Poetry and a Movie

This course is great for starting high school because it introduces the students to the literary elements. We spend several weeks on each so that the student has a thorough grasp of the concepts.  Each month studies a new poet and includes a new writing project. At the end of the month, your student will watch a movie that used the poem as inspiration.

• This is a one-year full course with 10 monthly poets.

• A Movie Suggestion to go along with the Poet

All these parts make up a complete language arts curriculum for one year of high school credit.  You can also choose to complete book clubs in your own time frame as a supplement to a language arts program. Use the parts of the lesson which appeal to you and fit with your current language arts program.  We have used the book clubs in both capacities -- as a full year of language arts and as a summer supplement to our Good & the Beautiful curriculum.

How it Works

When you first log into your account, you'll see all of the book clubs available with the course and how far you have progressed on each.  Many of the unit adventures are done via embedded videos and external links to further reading.  What's nice about this is that it's already been pulled together and vetted for you.
