What I Loved:

There are beautiful photos and graphics throughout the unit study; it’s very high quality. There is also a comprehensive resource list of books, instruments, games, and other fun things to get (optional) to go along with the study. If you have never done a lapbook before, there are detailed instructions (including videos) to help you with it. Each lesson, or “quest,” has videos, activity pages, and fun ideas to explore that relate to each of the five composers and his music.

My Take-Away:

Amanda Bennett’s Download N Go Unit Studies are every bit as good as I’ve always heard they were. I’m excited to continue using this one, and to get more to use with my kids in the future!
