This was excellent, thank you for doing a walk through planning a unit. This is not a strength of mine and really gets in the way of doing unit studies for me. I would love to see how to take these ideas and use them to create your school days.

Thank you and thank you for the feedback about what you'd like to see. I'm planning on writing a follow up post soon.

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed reading your thought process and how it’s similar but different from my own. I am interested in seeing how you’d organize this unit with all the different subjects woven in. I really like that aspect and might borrow it for future unit studies 😉

This was the best walk through of a unit study development, like, ever! Thank you so much for sharing your brain dump expertise with us. I love all the books that you chose, and it even helped me to find a few to add to our farming unit study -- and I added in an element of history to ours with the Dust Bowl. I'd like to highlight the impact of Dust Bowl on farming families during the Depression era in America. I feel like it will be a good jumping off point to learn about the Great Depression eventually. So thorough and amazing! Thank you thank you!

I'm so glad it was helpful! I love the idea of adding the Dust Bowl to your farm study!
