Now there is a fun, easy way to weave science, geography, biography studies, grammar, history, literature and writing skills into your homeschool studies. Watch your students’ love of learning blossom as you read one American Girl historical fiction novel per week and do one literature-based project per day!
Portraits of American Girlhood is a 250+ page unit study guide that uses the merican Girl historical book series by Pleasant Company. The study is designed to last either one traditional 6-week school schedule using six of the seven units included, or a year-round 42-week schedule using all seven units. The study guide is written from a Christian/creationist perspective.
The guide is for grades 2-5, but can easily be adapted for older students using the enrichment activities at the back of each chapter. It comes with a FREE CD ROM that contains over 70 worksheets, maps and handouts for you to print out from your own computer. Also included are adaptation ideas for kids with special needs, how to include boys in the study, and lots of tips and tricks to help you along the way. I was impressed the moment I opened this unit study. This unit is fabulous value! A must have for your young readers! Read Review Here. Grades 2-5 · Spiralbound.
