Etkids Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I love the looks of the Trail Guide to World Geography Series & have plans to use this with my 6th & 9th grader this year, but I get VERY intimidated by "unit studies". Could someone help ease my mind that I can do this! Maybe you have some tips to offer, or even share your plans at using it. Thanks & Be blessed in ALL you do!

nchser Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I used it last year with my 6th and 7th grader - this year we will repeat, using the secondary level. I did not view it as a unit study. I simply assigned them a set of questions each day for 4 days, and then on the 5th, they would do the mapping exercises. I had planned to pick one Trail Blazing activity to assign at the beginning of each week to be completed over the course of that week, but that never happened. This year, I am shooting a little lower in the hopes that it will actually get done, so I am planning a minimum of one activity from each continent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etkids Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 That is my plan is to get every little bit out of it as possible! I wish I could find someone that did it and had lesson plans to share because I'm not so good without my hand being held!.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 W/ TG, you just pick & choose what you want to do --as much or little as you can handle. We did just the daily questions w/ minimal map work & none of the activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etkids Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am going to give this a try. My heart just keeps telling me that we will enjoy it. Thank you to everything that gave your input :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am planning on using this. I also purchased the Cd with the notebook pages and maps. That makes it very easy to plan!!! Kelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
