How long should this course take my child?
The unit study is set up on a day by day basis. It can take as much or as little time as you and your child feel you want to spend. That said, the original design is for a 30 day unit study.

It will depend on the age of the child. Older children should be able to complete it independently. However, parents will need to be available to help with projects. I recommend parents review the course before their children begin.

Absolutely! We are a homeschooling family, and we encourage all our children to participate in unit studies.
Will the teacher provide any feedback to the child on their writing projects?
We provide students with the opportunity to share their Writing Projects with us. If they choose to share, we will provide feedback in the form of critiques and encouragement. Some of our students use this option frequently, while others choose to submit their assignments to the parents.
