North Carolina – A State Unit Study <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2201.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2201.html This mini unit on NORTH CAROLINA uses the cross curricular approach to education. There are several activities from different academic subjects for you to choose from. One of the most important things is to have fun! Fashion Design Unit Study <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2197.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2197.html I've recently been asked what would make a good unit study for older students. In my view, unit studies would be a great method for investigating possible career choices. Here is a unit study on fashion design. Good, basic information is learned as well as how this interest could relate to a career option. The Santa Fe Trail: A Geography and History Lesson <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2195.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2195.html Using the websites given in this lesson, children are given high-interest and some hands-on activities to complete. The Swiss Family Robinson: A Literature Unit - Chapter 1 <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2196.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2196.html This is the first in a series of lessons to use in conjunction with The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss. The Swiss Family Robinson Unit - Chapter Two <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2202.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2202.html Chapter Two, entitled The New Country, continues the unit study of the Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss Paper Art Lesson Ideas <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2198.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2198.html Papermaking was developed in China centuries ago, as an alternative to writing on silk. At one time, only an artisan could make paper and it was quite expensive. Now, paper is common, inexpensive, and can even be made from recycled materials. Here are several activities to investigate paper making and how paper is used in various crafts. Home Ec Project: Make Your Own Soda Pops <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2052.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2052.html a.gifDid you know that you can make your own carbonated beverages? Its quite simple and certainly better for you than the ones you buy on the grocery store shelves. Introducing the Letter Qq <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2200.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2200.html Here are lots of good ideas from all over the place for introducing the letter Q. Most of these activities use the across-the-curriculum approach. These ideas are not just for preschoolers, but can be used remedially for any level, and for teaching students whose first language is not English. Home Ec Project: Preserving Bananas <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2199.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2199.html Usually the fruit of the banana tree is eaten fresh; however, it can be preserved in other ways such as drying, freezing, and canning. A Child's History of England: Chapters 36 & 37 <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2167.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2167.html by Charles Dickens Chapters thirt-six and thirty-seven are the final chapters of Dickens' A Child's History of England. Chapter thirty-six deals with James the Second and the book ends as Queen Victoria takes the throne.

But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child." -Forest Witcraft
