One Week Off Unit StudiesCastle Heights Press, Inc.The Julicher family of Castle Heights Press has combined efforts of both parents and children to produce this series of unit studies, each of which is designed to take about one week. Titles in the series are Aviation, Cats and Kittens, Dogs and Puppies, Horses, Cars, Adventures in Drama, Like a Shepherd, Dinosaurs, and Space Exploration. While all of these will stretch to cover a fairly wide age span, they do vary in level of difficulty, reflecting the ages of authors involved. The animal titles, particularly those about cats and dogs, seem “younger” than the others. Each study requires extensive research and completion of workbook writing activities. This is coupled with field trips, experiments, drawings, reports, or presentations as appropriate for each study and age level. These studies do challenge students to go beyond superficial information into serious research. The various activities also require student output that ensures that they are understanding and utilizing what they learn.
