The introductory pages contain information to help you, and the actual unit study pages are mainly pages of links. These are the resources I am using. If you prefer to use your library instead of your internet, go right ahead! I have been starting with the links for video clips, and just clicking through them. The kids watch a few of the videos to get their interest really going, and then I start using the informational links, such as National Geographic. I simply read these to the kids, but if you have readers they could do this themselves. Then we visit the printable links to see if there is anything we want to do, and we head to the table. We do all of the lapbook and notebook pages, along with any website printables, to finish up.
Note: I never finished this. This is everything I have done. The second and third weeks don't have any links or study guides. However, information about these topics should be easy to find online.
