Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Asia is a Full Unit. Our Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
What is this unit about? Our second unit was the introduction to a series we did covering each continent. We call it Connecting Continents. Daily lessons on 20 different countries including unique food, culture, missionary stories, customs, clothing, features, quick facts, and more! Each unit includes a writing project that is worked on throughout the month. In Asia, this project is story writing. Plus don't miss our accompanying Recipe Book where you can cook your way through Asia! These lessons are full of incredible visuals and rich connections to help your kids learn more about the world around them. Come world school with us!

What should I 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 4-6 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.
