Enrichment & Homeschool Use

This assignment was originally desgined for use in a classroom setting consisting of approximately 27 to 29 students; however, the assignment can easily be adapted for smaller classrooms and for homeschool use.

Although the study guide questions are intended to create the basis for discussion in a small group setting, the same dynamic can be generated with one or two students and increased teacher involvement.
