Unit studies are an integrated thematic approach to learning several subjects/concepts through a main topic. Topics or themes can be chosen by the child’s interests, experiences in family life, books, events in the news, etc. This method can be used with different grades at one time to incorporate all the children of a family.
Have you wanted to put together a unit study but not sure where to start? Join Unit-Safari and you won’t have to do it alone.
Unit-Safari is an online co-op where we put together unit studies as a group. It isn’t a site for lurkers, but for active participants. A topic is done every two weeks and our members send information to the list on that particular topic. At the end of that unit collection, the information is organized into a printable unit for members’ use by volunteers. These unit studies include Bible References, Learning Objectives, Vocabulary, Reference Books, Living Books, Movies, Websites, Activities, Worksheets, Games, Writing Assignments, and Evaluation Ideas.
We are voting on units to do this year so now would be a great time to join!
