We are now doing a unit study on the Chalet School. In English lessons we read one of the books in question in order to start with. Then we write a short review or hold a little Q and A session on themes of the book. I also prepared a mini fact file on the events and characters of the novels too. I encouraged the class to research the author and make notes on her. To liven things up I include fun activities like role play.
Do also try the hot seating method. It really works. We also discussed our feelings and events of each book. I created a colourful mind map to ease them into it. Find stuff that works for you. I printed out a list of questions I used for lessons.

I think this post might have some help for you, Iris: https://simplehomeschool.net/core-phase/

If I was in this situation, I might try building a unit study around one of MY OWN interests, and inviting my child to come along for the ride. Along the way, you might find another interest gets sparked. But even if it doesn’t, you’ve had a great time!!

We have a 7 year old that really really doesn’t want to do much of anything that sounds like school, so we’ve been trying different things here and there. I’d love to do a unit study, but she doens’t seem to have one specific hyper focus subject. When I ask her, I get a grunt and one-shouldered-shrug 🙂
