Our Literature Unit - Communities and Culture takes students on a journey through ancient Egypt and medieval Europe. Kids explore history through stories, write about their own experiences, and role-play characters from the past. By comparing these time periods to the present, students learn about cultural dynamics while improving their reading and critical thinking skills. 

Key Features:

• Time Travel Exploration: Students utilize the "historical time periods" organizer to foster imagination, as learners predict and record discoveries.
• Interactive Grammar: Embark on a proper noun scavenger hunt to apply grammar in a fun, hands-on way that links language arts to everyday life.
• Cultural Immersion Through Craft: Students make historically accurate paper dolls, pyramids, and castles, learning about different cultures and architectural styles from history.
• Comparative Analysis and Empathy: Through journaling and role-playing, children adopt perspectives from ancient to medieval societies, cultivating empathy and understanding of societal structures and individual roles.

This curriculum blends history and language arts through engaging activities that promote creativity and critical thinking. Students explore culinary arts, social hierarchies, and cultural celebrations to understand  the evolution of communities, culminating in a personalized illustrated book and a role-playing exercise that brings history to life. This language arts unit spans three weeks of our comprehensive Age 7-9 curriculum, typically used as a third-grade homeschool curriculum.
