Spotlight on Universally-FUN Family-Style Units!

Unit studies are popular with homeschooling families because they provide a hands-on, in-depth approach to learning about any topic of choice.  This is a great way to provide individualized instruction for your students, allowing them explore the 'topic-du-jour,' and instills a love of learning!

Prior to the 20th century, one-room schoolhouses were commonplace. Teachers weren't working that much harder back then, they were just working differently.  By applying some of the same principles, you can school your household of students without having to do six different sets of lesson plans each day.  This will greatly reduce your mom-teacher-everything-to-everyone stress!

Two of our favorite family-fun unit bundles to pick up are the American History Novel Studies Bundle and the History of Rock & Roll.  Each of these contains multiple lessons and modules, perfect for incorporating a new subject or topic into your school day on a regular basis, or for 'dropping out' of the routine and doing a deep dive into said topic!  Both are history-focused, but American History utilizes books, whereas Rock & Roll utilizes video and recordings for learning.  We think you'll enjoy each of these bundles immensely!

Includes sixteen unit studies covering American History. Each unit addresses a new topic, spanning the Revolutionary War to Vietnam. Each unit has introductory text, which will give the student basic background information about the topic at hand.

• There are photographs and illustrations, and we have also included primary documents when available.
• After this text, there are featured videos, which augment the background information and help make the topic more accessible for more visual students.
• You will also find a short list of reading books, including a featured novel that the unit builds upon.
• There are vocabulary words, places, and people to identify.
• Reading comprehension, critical thinking questions, and writing assignments are included.
• We add fun with hands-on activities and extra videos to watch that will bring the era to life.
• Some units also have cooking projects.

These studies are directed toward upper grades students, but some have resources for younger students so that the whole family can work together. Our family has used unit studies as curriculum for many years, and we hope that your family will enjoy these, too!
