3 How to use a unit study from Intellego Unit Studies 1. The PDF file containing this unit study is graphic intensive and full color. In addition, the PDF contains all of the links needed for the Internet activities. Therefore, it is not necessary to print the entire PDF. Instead, view the PDF on your computer, printing the specific pages your children will need to complete the written activities. You may also wish to print the Table of Contents and use it as a checklist to monitor your child s progress. 2. This unit study contains internal links for ease of navigation within the PDF. Each time you open the PDF, you can scroll to the Table of Contents and click on the appropriate link to take you to your next activity. 3. Of course, you can always jump in and get started immediately, but we recommend reviewing the Materials Inventory lists and gathering your supplies before you begin with the first activity in Chapter One. Although additional books and library materials are not required to complete a unit study from Intellego Unit Studies, we recommend a quick stop at the local library before beginning your unit study. Intellego Unit Studies does not recommend specific book titles (due to availability variables in local libraries across the country), but many parents find that printing the Table of Contents and taking that to the library helps them gather any additional resources on the topics that their children might desire. 4. We recommend that children create a portfolio notebook for this unit study. This provides a handy place to keep the child s expressive work. Photos of children s art work and hands-on activities should also be included in the portfolio, along with their Vocabulary Journal that they will begin building in Chapter One. The portfolio notebook can be as simple as a plain file folder with your child s illustrations on the cover or as elaborate as an entire scrapbook, complete with all of the bells and whistles. Either way (or everything in between) is fine.it all depends on the child! 5. Each unit study is organized by chapter. Each chapter begins with a materials list, a vocabulary introduction, and an activities list. Each chapter unfolds with a wide variety of engaging multi-sensory activities. Most activities contain an introduction followed by a web link. Have your children read the information (or read it to them) and then Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 3

4 double click on the link (make sure your Internet browser is open). After you have finished with the web link, return to this Intellego Unit Studies PDF file to continue on. Each chapter also includes Extension Activities, set apart in yellow text boxes for easy identification. The extension activities are not required, but they are essential to the unit study concept because they create the bridge between different curriculum areas or skills. For example, the extension activity may offer a related science experiment or art project that connects to the theme of the unit study. Each chapter concludes with a reflection and exploration activity. This activity presents your children with the opportunity to evaluate and synthesize what they have learned in each chapter before moving on to the next. There is no set time limit for this activity. Follow their lead and allow them to spend additional time exploring related topics of interest. 6. Our unit studies are meant to serve the K-12 population of students, although subject matter does dictate age appropriateness. If you are using this unit study with children of varying ages, rest assured that this unit study is easily adaptable. Possible adaptations: Any required reading within the unit study or through a web link may be completed by the student or with the parent s help. Discussion questions can be discussed orally or adapted into writing exercises. Writing assignments can be dictated to the parent and then used for copy work by the student to encourage writing fluency. Vocabulary lists may be used to build decoding, sight word recognition, or spelling skills. Topics may be further explored or researched according to interest and ability. All activities can be adapted into expository writing exercises. You are the best judge of your children s abilities, skills, and educational needs. Therefore, there is no right way or wrong way to adapt the activities within this unit study. This allows you to make adaptations while still providing the structure, research, preparation and web links to make it easy on you, the parent! 7. Each unit study incorporates as many areas of curriculum as possible and as relevant. However, many parents who use Intellego Unit Studies incorporate separate mathematics and language arts programs in their children s study. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 4

5 Our unit studies provide concrete examples and applications of the skills your children are learning in their separate math and language arts studies. For example, if your children are currently learning about parts of speech, encourage them to apply that knowledge to reading and writing activities within the unit study. You may wish to print a page from one of the web links they found particularly engaging. Ask them to identify parts of speech after they have read for content. In addition, any writing activities that they complete can also be used to show them how they are using the various parts of speech in their own writing. This type of application can be incorporated with any language arts curriculum or concept, from nouns and verbs to multi-page expository writing. All of our unit studies provide opportunities for children to practice and apply reading skills. For reluctant readers, you may want to encourage their reading by reading along with them as you progress through the various activities and web links. Add challenging words to their vocabulary journal. Check their comprehension by allowing them to read the directions for activities, experiments, and crafts. Regardless of your child s reading level, this unit study provides the opportunity to explore the written word and practice decoding and encoding skills. In the area of mathematics, encourage your children to identify patterns, look for classifications, or apply their math skills to the activities within the unit study. For example, any experiments or activities that require measuring can easily be used to demonstrate new mathematical concepts or reinforce acquired knowledge with practical applications. Ratios, fractions, decimals, and other concepts can be brought into any activity that requires children to sort information, compile lists, compare and contrast, measure, create, or build. There is no right or wrong way to incorporate your language arts and math curriculums into this unit study. The key is to look for areas where there is a natural connection between what your child is working on in language arts and math and what your child is doing within a unit study. Experiment, try some new things, and enjoy the integrative process! 8. An answer key is located in the Appendix, which can be found at the end of the file or by clicking on the Chapter Answers link in the bookmarks. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 5

13 Chapter One Vocabulary Help your children build vocabulary while having fun! The vocabulary of children is diverse and dynamic. Therefore, we have not included a vocabulary list as each child s vocabulary is at a different stage of development. Instead, Intellego Unit Studies encourages children to build their own vocabulary lists. We recommend starting a Vocabulary Journal in Chapter One that your children can add to in each lesson. Below are some ideas for helping your children build vocabulary while having fun! 1. Have your children identify all unfamiliar words as they encounter them in this chapter. 2. Use the link below, if you choose, for the online children s dictionary. Or help your children develop dictionary skills by using a dictionary in your home Copy the unfamiliar words into their Vocabulary Journal (a notebook will do just fine!) and then illustrate the word. 4. Use the new word in a sentence. Encourage them to come up with rhymes, either real words or nonsense words, and include those as well. 5. Write the new words in the air with their fingers, making huge sweeping motions as they write. 6. Write the words on the floor with their toes! 7. Clap out the syllables in each new word. 8. Examine the new word. Identify if it plays by the rules phonetically, so that it can be sounded out for spelling, or if it is a rule breaker that must be memorized. 9. The objective here is to help them use as many senses as possible so that retention of the new words is increased. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 13

15 Activity 1.1 Welcome to the study of the flag! Welcome to Chapter One! We begin our study of the American flag with a brief activity to find out what your children already know as well as what they want to know. To begin, ask your children to identify and describe the American flag. What does it look like? What does it represent? What does it mean? Have your children complete the first two sections of the following KWL worksheet before they complete the activities in Activity 1.2. They will complete the final section of the KWL chart in Activity 1.5. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 15

17 Activity 1.2 Explore the history of the American flag Every nation in the world has a flag. Flags are important symbols. A symbol is something that stands for or represents something else. The flag of the United States represents the history of the nation and the unity of its 50 states. Let s begin our exploration of the flag by learning more about what the stars and stripes actually mean and the history of our flag. We begin with a brief reading that presents the history and facts about the American flag: Use the following questions for discussion or as writing prompts: 1. What do the 13 stripes represent? 2. What do the 50 stars represent? 3. Why are there rules and laws about the flag? Historians do not agree regarding who made the first American flag. Some say it was Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress who told her grandchildren stories about making the first flag for General George Washington. Other historians believe someone else was responsible for sewing the first American flag. One interesting legend (which historians cannot prove true) states that General George Washington had wanted six-point stars on the new American flag. According to the legend, Betsy Ross showed General Washington how to make a five-point star with only one snip of the scissors. Do you believe a five-point star can be made with only one cut? Gather up some scissors and have your children test it out following the directions at the link below: Play the following quick online game to place the American flag at the top of the flagpole and to put pieces of the flag together! Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 17

18 Activity 1.3 Explore the flag s names and rules Steps: The American flag has several names. It is sometimes called Old Glory, and it is often referred to as The Stars and Stripes. Read the following brief article to your children about the origin of the name Old Glory: Next, in this hands-on treat, it is time to make a flag and eat it! 1. Use a basic sugar cookie recipe or any family favorite! 2. Have children roll and form the dough into large rectangles (3 x 5 ) 3. After baking, decorate the flag cookies with red, white and blue icing to represent the American flag. While decorating, inspire your young artists with the following American flag facts: The American flag should only be flown from sunrise to sunset, unless there is a light shining on the flag when it is dark outside. The American flag must be displayed near the entrance to every public building in the United States, including all public schools. If two or more flags share the flagpole (such as the American flag with a state flag) the American flag must be on top. June 14 th is Flag Day in the United States! Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 18

19 Extension Activity What does the flag mean to you? What does the American flag represent? What does it mean to you? Is it a sacred symbol? Has it meant something important to you? Does it represent you? Have you ever used the flag to make a statement? At the following link, you and your children can share your thoughts about what the American flag means to you, and your submission may become a part of the Smithsonian flag mosaic, made up of stories and photos from people like you. dbanner/share-your-story.aspx Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 19

20 Activity 1.4 Explore the changes to the American flag Use the following for discussion or as writing prompts: In the previous activities, your children have learned about the history of the flag and its different names. In this activity, your children will explore the changes to the American flag over the past 200+ years! To begin, follow the link below to a visual timeline of the American flag. Help your children find the American flag that represents when your state joined the union! agfact.html 1. Why has the American flag changed over the last 200+ years? 2. How many stars were on the flag when your state joined the union, or was your state one of the original 13 colonies? 3. Do you think the flag will change in the future, or is the current flag the final American flag? Next, have your children draw or paint a picture of the current American flag. Remind them that each star has 5 points and that there are 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes. Next, select a hands-on craft or two from the following list of flag-related crafts: How well do your children know the rules for displaying the flag? Have them take the quiz and find out. om/flagfactsforkids.p df Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 20

21 Extension Activity Study the Pledge of Allegiance In this extension activity, we take a look at the Pledge of Allegiance, an oath that is stated before the flag in ceremonies and as part of national tradition. Note to parents: The Pledge of Allegiance has been the source of controversy over the past few years because of the insertion by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954 of the phrase under God. As originally written, the Pledge of Allegiance did not include this phrase and there is a movement to remove the line to respect those Americans who do not believe in God or would like to remove religious references from national symbols. We have included the Pledge of Allegiance within this unit study for families who want their children to know the pledge, with or without its history. We feel this is a personal decision best handled by each individual family. With or without the phrase under God, the Pledge of Allegiance is still a symbol of the United States. The following web site offers a brief history of the Pledge of Allegiance as well as the changes that have taken place since its original publication in ml The following printable worksheet provides the words and associated pictures to help children learn the Pledge of Allegiance: Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 21

22 Activity 1.5 Complete your KWL chart In Activity 1.1, your children began their KWL chart on the American flag. Think of all they have learned in this chapter! Now it is time to complete the final section of the Chapter One KWL chart. Before completing this step, briefly review all that they have done in this chapter: Activity 1.1 Welcome to the study of the flag! Activity 1.2 Explore the history of the American flag Activity 1.3 Explore the flag s names and rules Extension Activity What does the flag mean to you? Activity 1.4 Explore the changes to the American flag Extension Activity Study the Pledge of Allegiance Have your children now complete the final section of the KWL chart. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 22

23 Activity 1.6 Reflect on and explore the topics in Chapter One This activity presents your children with the opportunity to evaluate and synthesize what they have learned in this chapter. Follow their lead and allow them to reflect on this chapter using the following guided questions: 1. What was your favorite activity? 2. What did you learn that surprised you? 3. How do these topics and information relate to your life? 4. How will you use the information you learned? 5. What would you like to know more about? Children should be encouraged to answer these questions using their preferred method of output. Select from the options on the next page based on your child s age, interests and abilities, or create your own. Copyright 2009 Intellego Unit Studies 23

24 Write the answers in a journal Make a chart, diagram or outline Write a poem or story Give a speech Record the answers into a tape recorder Narrate a story Paint pictures Draw pictures Create dot-to-dot drawings for others to complete Write a song Use music to tell a story Select music as an accompaniment to your own story Write a play Present a skit or act out a narrative Role play a situation Design a board game or PowerPoint presentation Create a collage or scrapbook Create a diorama or create clay models Prepare a photo essay Select photos or artwork to illustrate a story Select photos or artwork to tell a story Remember, the method of output is not as important as the reflection that takes place as they are thinking through and answering the questions!
