Synopsis

Learn about the Justinian Law code by crafting an origami thingy (we have no idea what it's actually called). Play a "Treasure of the Cross" with a printable game board to learn about the wars of Heraclius and Khosrau. Find out about Turkey's national sport, camel wrestling, and make a printable camel craft. Try some "four seasons" crafts or do an experiment showing how el Nino and la Nina work. And finally try gold leafing and make Byzantine style mosaics from beans. This unit includes printable maps, activities, crafts, games and more. In each Layers of Learning homeschool curriculum unit you'll find a recommended library list, important background information about each topic, lots of activities to choose from for kids of all ages, and sidebars with a bunch more ideas including Additional Layers, Fabulous Facts, On The Web, Writer's Workshop, Famous Folks, and Teaching Tips. Printable maps and worksheets are included at the end of each unit and may be printed as often as needed for your family or class. Learn more at www.Layers-of-Learning.com

About this title

About the Author:

Karen, a mother of four who has homeschooled her kids for more than six years with her husband, Bob, has a bachelor’s degree in child development with an emphasis in education. She lives in Utah where she gardens, teaches piano, and plays excruciating board games with her kids. Karen is our resident Arts expert and English and editing guru {most necessary as Michelle regularly and carelessly mangles the English language and occasionally steps over the bounds of polite society}. We both pitch in on Geography, in case you were wondering. Michelle and her husband, Cameron, homeschooling now for over a decade, whip their six boys into shape on their ten acres in beautiful Idaho country. Michelle earned a bachelors in biology, making her the resident Science expert, though she is mocked by her friends for being the Botanist with the Black Thumb of Death. She also is the go-to for History and Government, being almost, but not quite, well-read. She believes in staying up late, hot chocolate, and a no whining policy.
