jeandh Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ok I'm going to throw this crazy idea out. I just was reading a magazine article on how we should try to use unit study in the things our children are truly interested in to expand their education. Well my son is an Indiana Jones fanatic & it seems like a real opportunity to expand on religion, history, geography etc based on his favorite movies. DS is very interested in the Ark of the Covenant & the Holy Grail. He is in 2nd grade & I'm hunting out unit studies that could match up. I know you are all very resourceful so I'm wondering have any of you done this already or know anything about it? Thanks in advance.

jeandh Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 That is a great site but I didn't see where they have actual lesson plans. Am I missing something? Thanks. Jean :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeandh Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 There is a lot of good stuff here but most of it is over his head. I was really hoping to find something on the ark of the covenant & the holy grail. Do you have any great resources for that? THanks so much. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvneck Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh, man, I completely forgot that I was going to do the same thing myself last summer!! I had a ton of ideas that I wrote down on paper and put in a safe place...and you know what happens to that kind of thing! :D So I will be all :bigear: on this thread and will post if I ever find that list or think of anything good.
