This Emily Dickinson think book is designed as a self-contained, student-led high school curriculum unit. (Credit recommendation: 0.25 credits; schedule recommendation: 7-8 weeks/0.5 semester)

Emily Dickinson is arguably the first U.S. poet to develop an authentically original voice. Dickinson isn't building on classical or Enlightenment poetic foundations; instead, she's innovating a mash-up of Protestant hymns, quirky rhymes and meters, and riddling poetic language combined with her favorite parts of Romanticism and Transcendentalism.

In this unit, we'll explore what makes her voice unique — while also learning about the fundamentals of poetry analysis with step-by-step exercises and activities.

This is part of the U.S. Literature full-year curriculum think book. (Available in the SEA Homeschoolers store)

What students say:

"This is my all-time favorite class, and this is the best literature project I have ever done."

"Cards Against Emily Dickinson is peak literature experience."

Placement recommendation: This is a high school level unit, designed for students who are already familiar with the basic elements of literature (plot, character, theme, setting, etc.) and who are comfortable applying those skills to texts. Like most high school level curricula, it includes works that could be rated M for Mature. If mature content is a concern for you with your student, I encourage you to preview texts to asses your personal comfort level. (I read these texts with my own high school student and teach them in high school classes, but comfort levels can be very personal things.) This is a completely secular program.

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.
