Reading Guide: How to Turn Any Book Into a Literature Unit

$14.00

This is the curriculum for you if:

  • You’re a little nervous-cited about homeschooling middle and high school.

  • You’re looking for decolonized secular homeschool curriculum and resources.

  • You don’t want to lose the homeschool magic just because you’re in the homeschool home stretch.

You don’t need a curriculum to teach literature — you just need curiosity and a willingness to jump in and ask questions. This un-curriculum is designed to help you do just that. You can use it to turn any book into a full literature unit. 

To use this guide, pick and choose the options that best suit your student and book. You can use discussion activities to guide your conversation and analysis as you read, then choose one of the summative activities as a way to wrap up your unit. There are lots of options, so don’t try to do them all!

What you’ll find inside:

  • 25-page reading guide

  • 3 different discussion strategies (with 102+ questions to get you started)

  • 14 synthesis activities

  • 19 book recommendations 

  • Credit recommendation: Most books in our homeschool end up being 6- to 8-week units, and we’ll read five or six novels together each year, in addition to other literature activities, to add up to one literature credit.

  • Placement recommendation: Our high school literature units are designed to be rigorous academic studies; ideally, students should come into them having some familiarity with annotated reading, textual analysis, and writing about literature.

For secular homeschoolers who want a fun, decolonized, rigorous way to homeschool high school and middle school, home/school/life’s Deep Thought is the progressive high school curriculum that does the academic heavy lifting so that you can enjoy the fun stuff. Unlike other high school curriculum, home/school/life’s Deep Thought curriculum teaches students how to learn, not just what to learn and makes big academics surprisingly fun for the whole family.

All curriculum materials are digital and downloadable. Because of this, all sales are final. If you have questions, please ask before you buy.

Last week before fall break! We only have two weeks when we get back, so I thought the students would appreciate getting their history final out of the way. There was a little moment of panic (“surprise final!”), but they had a ton of fun
How is the semester almost over!?!

There’s so much stuff happening behind the scenes, as students work on final projects and we start to weave together all the various threads of learning into something that we can’t wait to talk about.
You might want to save this.

I love big, dense, complicated texts that tackle the hard stuff — but sometimes I need something a little gentler, something that reminds me that humans have just as much capacity for goodness as for evil.
