Vikings is a unit about exploration, adventure, and courage. It follows the story of a small group of people who had a big impact. Students will learn about famous Vikings, the Viking way of life, and how in a short amount of time, everything would change. Conversational and full of fascinating stories, the whole family is going to remember this one! The writing project for this unit is writing a story, and we have an optional writing track to walk students through how to do that step by step each day. For the first time ever, we implemented an index in the back of the Teacher's Guide to make things easier to find, plus check out our brand new scope and sequence with a skills checklist—divided by lesson! We also tried our very first lapbook add on for this unit, with mapping, timeline figures, and cut outs that can be pasted to make a memorable folder presentation. You can do this in addition to your notebooking page, or instead of it (though there are some additional activities in the notebooking pages especially for older students to add additional enrichment). Students are encouraged to draw, paint, or make 3D objects to add to a diorama as they go through the lessons. Be as hands-on or hands-off as you want with the many adaptations available in this unit!
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil bound.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
