This EPIC Adventure also includes explanations of the theme concept, how EPIC Adventures work, how to teach to the theme, teaching strategies for incorporating all the subjects, planners, organizers like journals, time lines, binders, a History Museum, and 40+ pages of additional resources including books lists, music, and field trip ideas.  It also includes ideas for opening and closing ceremonies, mind maps, and how to do a year-long research project.  You do not need to use everything that is provided.  This curriculum is also flexible enough that you can use your own ideas and even the ideas your children come up with.


Key Points are given for each topic.  These key points are the information you want your child to learn.  They can be read to your children (boring!) or presented in fun ways via games, visitors, challenges, activities or other methods.  Most families use a variety of ideas to present the key points, even reading them at times.  See a sample of key points here.

Inquiries are like assignments, only the children get to choose (sometimes with help or direction from a parent) which ones they do.  Some inquiries are easier than others.  Others may take many days of work or lend themselves to group or family projects.  Every key point will have several inquiries that go along with it.  The inquiries incorporate every learning style and age range, as well as different subjects like language arts, science, or drama.  If your child can not find an inquiry that excites him, let him write his own or write one for him.  See a sample of inquiries here.
