"UNIT STUDY - WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?" explains the basics of what a unit study involves - for those parents who are curious, but are either doubtful or just need to know where to roll their sleeves up and begin. Find out why children think the unit study method is such a fun way to learn, and why parents think that their children learn more completely when they are taught using this approach. Discover how to put a unit study together all by yourself, how to use a unit study in combination with a few text books, and what resources are available to help you in this exciting area. "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" shows you how easy it is to incorporate cooking into almost any field of study, whether you use a traditional textbook approach or unit study. Through this talk you will find out how to add fun and creative cooking projects to your homeschool experience in order to make learning more meaningful, while at the same time, making wonderful memories with your children.
