HOD: A Unit Study Curriculum

Post by my3sons » Fri Feb 24, 2023 2:52 pm

A Unit Studies curriculum stands out from other curricula because it includes a unifying theme! Instead of approaching each subject separately, unit studies integrate across various subject areas and topics. This helps children better understand what they are studying. In turn, this helps children better retain what they have studied. Heart of Dakota (HOD) creatively utilizes a unit studies approach by using history as its unifying theme.

Each HOD homeschool teacher's guide includes an easy-to-use, two-page-spread of lesson plans. The left side of the plans provides the basis for the chronological weekly Learning Through History theme. Engaging living books narratively tell the story of history and act as the spine of the unit study. A variety of subjects connect to the history theme to create fun and memorable homeschool unit studies!...
