If you haven't heard of Homeschool Share (also known as HSS), they have a great collection of free unit studies and lapbooks, created by other homeschool Moms just like you. I've used a few of their unit studies (Curious George was lots of fun!) and we're getting ready to do a Nim's Island unit study from Homeschool Share once we finish our Crew reviews.
Well, it's Homeschool Share Blast2009 time. This is when they hold a contest for new unit study submissions. They're giving out prizes for the best unit study (or lapbook) in 8 different categories, as well as honorable mentions. They have some great prize sponsors, including The Old Schoolhouse magazine, CurrClick, and Homeschool In The Woods.
If you've always wanted to try to write your own unit study, now's your chance! If you're an "old hat" at writing unit studies for your kids, join in the fun! Although we've used unit studies in the past, and I've "rowed" non-Five In A Row books with my kids in a very unplanned manner, I've never written a complete unit study. But, I'm hoping to finish one up to enter!
If you don't want to submit a unit study or lapbook, be sure to check the HSS website later this year to see all the great new items that are submitted during the contest.
