Unit Safari

Unit-Safari is a co-op site where unit studies are put together as a group. This isn’t a site for lurkers, but for active participants. A topic is chosen every two weeks and members send information to the list on that particular topic. At the end of that unit collection, the information is organized into a printable unit for members’ use. These unit studies include Bible References, Learning Objectives, Vocabulary, Reference Books, Living Books, Movies, Websites, Activities, Worksheets, Games, Writing Assignments, and Evaluation Ideas.
