How to use a unit study from
Intellego Unit Studies
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.
SA
1.
PL
M
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.
E
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

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.
6.
SA
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.

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.

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:
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.

Intellego Unit Studies
Inspired by the multiple intelligences of every child
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.
M
SA
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.
PL
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.
E
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!

*Important Notes to parents:
Intellego Unit Studies tests and verifies all Internet links in our unit
studies continually and we make changes accordingly. To provide you
with corrected links, Intellego Unit Studies uses a link redirection
database. When you click on an external link in the unit study, your
internet browser will access the Intellego Unit Studies link database for the
actual current link. Any corrections to the page of the unit study may also
be displayed. If your browser does not allow for the redirections, you will
need to cut and paste the link into your browser’s address bar. If you
should discover an expired link, please report it here.

This unit study contains links to Internet sites. Although we make every
effort to link only to child-safe websites, Internet content can change
rapidly. Please supervise your children at all times when they are online.
If you encounter material unsuitable for children, please notify us here.

Many of the activities in this unit study require parent supervision and
assistance. Please use common sense and supervise your children when
they are using tools or sharp instruments. Experiments and hands-on
activities should be completed ONLY under the supervision of a
responsible adult.

Many of the activities in this unit study utilize videos available on
www.youtube.com. Intellego Unit Studies cannot control the content
available to children on YouTube. We strongly recommend that parents
open the YouTube videos for their children and then enlarge the video
window to full screen. That way, your children will not be distracted by
competing images while watching their video, and they will not be exposed
to possible inappropriate material loaded by other users of YouTube.

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!
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.
SA
1.
M
http://kids.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/english/entry/
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.

Welcome to the Ancient Civilizations Volume II unit study! We begin our study
of classical Greece with this brief activity to find out what your children already
know as well as what they want to know.
To begin, ask your children to describe what they already know about ancient
Greece. What was daily life like in a city-state? How did war and conflict
influence life? What elements of our society do we owe to the ancient Greeks?
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 1.17.

out in this activity as we meet the Minoans and the Mycenaeans.
We begin our exploration of the Minoans and Mycenaeans with the following web
page that includes a text article as well as a flow chart that your children can use
for visual reinforcement of events during the time before the ancient Greeks.
http://www.flowofhistory.com/units/birth/3/FC17
What happened to the ancient Minoans? Why did their society crumble, allowing
for the Mycenaeans to take over? View the following film from the BBC on the
disappearance of the Minoans.
http://www.cosmolearning.com/documentaries/ancient-apocalypse-theminoans-1031/1/
Use the following questions for discussion or as writing prompts:

Next, have your children write a story in which they are a member of the ancient
Minoan society. The story should explain your child’s theory of what happened
to the ancient Minoans. In the alternative, have your children paint a large scale
picture that clearly shows the demise of the ancient Minoans.
