| Since
many of us will be using unit studies to do our notebooks
I will list sites you can find lesson plans.
To search
out a topic, once again www.google.com is invaluable. Try
the following examples for searching:
"Ancient
Egypt + Lesson Plans"
"Ancient
Egypt Lesson Plans"
"Ancient
Egypt + unit studies"
One of
my favorite sites for lesson plans is Core Knowledge. This
site is based on the Ed Hirsch What Your Child Needs to
Know series. The site has free award-winning lesson plans
as well as some that can be ordered. I have found wonderful
lesson plans on this site.
Here is
a simple step by step guide for putting together a unit study:
- Choose
a topic.
- Determine
how detailed you want the study to be.
- Determine
the amount of time you want to spend on the unit.
- Collect
your resources.
- Check
online for additional resources and ideas.
- Plan
activities that relate to your topic.
- Search
the library for more resources..
- Plan
a schedule.
- Keep
a notebook of your study.
- Wrap
up your unit with an activity or field trip that pulls it
all together.
