Here we study the Western Hemisphere and we get into early American history through the War for Independence. This volume is a nice place to start with younger students. Though science is woven throughout the unit study, Junior and Senior High students will need to supplement the science activities with a text.
Natural North America: study the continent before exploration-the geography, climate, plants, animals, wildlife and natives
Central America: study deserts, foods and the waters of the Caribbean
South America: study history, culture, and jungle life including a Brazilian “chocolate day”!
Explorers: chart early explorations and play a fun board game
New World Missions: study the lives of missionaries who broke ground in this nation
Early Settlers: make a tin punch lantern, try candle-wicking, candle making and basic quilting, and learn basic machines
Young Nation Under God: study the path of the War for Independence and dramatize a play about the Revolutionary War. The more the play is practiced, the more information is remembered!

Description
We are proud to present materials that we have developed, tested and produced here at Christian Cottage Schools. The “flagships” are our Christian Cottage Unit Studies. After teaching and writing units for our CCS families for 15 years, we believe we’ve produced a unit study method that is easy on Mom, and fun for the children. Each volume contains 2-week and one-month units planned to include enough science, history, bible, creative writing, literature and fine arts activities for more than one year. They’re easy to use, and Christian textbooks can be used as resources. Four levels of fun and interesting activities are planned daily for first through twelfth grades. Lessons are prepared in a one-day-at-a-glance, easy to use format. No Gaps! Ability-leveled vocabulary and main points make mastery measurements a snap! A home education curriculum pre-tested by hundreds of home schooling families.
