Free Unit Study Workshop

Sign up and receive "Boxes, Forts, and Tents," a one-hour audio workshop with PDF slideshow, full of great ideas for turning your boxes into castles, canoes, cars, trains, phone booths, barns, and many other homeschool adventures to use in your unit studies!

You will also receive a fun homeschool yearbook, bursting with pictures of great unit studies.

I will let you know once a month when my new articles are posted and give announcements of any new classes I've taught on video. I will occasionally give you other workshop audios for free!

Yikes! What are you doing here? Don't you know that I'm dangerous? I'm just kidding. How do you do? I'm Susan Evans, a lively homeschool conference speaker, author, and writing teacher. I love dressing up in costumes because I'm a ham, as you can clearly see in my Dread Pirate Susan YouTube videos. But most of all, I love God and my husband, and I homeschool my own children. (The fact that I love them, too, goes without saying...)

On this website you will see over 600 fun articles, videos, and blog entries. Everything that I do points to hands-on learning. I write a ton about homeschooling in all areas: science, history, geography, literature, writing, math, Bible, PE, and other miscellaneous subjects. Creative writing and unit studies are my two main product lines. I also have a whole separate section for Early Childhood, since I did a ton of fun stuff with my kids when they were little. Oh, and I almost forgot one of my most fun projects, which is organizing. Just love it. Can't help it. Made a 2-hour DVD about it, showing you how I organize every room in my house for homeschooling the FUN way. There is no reason for homeschooling to be drudgery, where children are dragging their feet in misery. Just give them a whiff of hands-on learning, and they will be BEGGING to do school. Begging, I tell you.

But the most important thing I love to talk about is God, and I'm not afraid of asking the hard questions, because God can handle it and our walk with God will deepen as a result of it. I have a section called “Faith Made Real,” full of articles about walking in the freedom of Christ, and I believe that abiding in Christ is the key to living a life of victory. I've experienced plenty of suffering in my life, which I've splashed all over my website, so I'm sure you'll find out sooner or later.

But the bottom line is this: hands-on learning will help your children to have more joy as they are learning each subject. Hopefully by watching my videos and reading my articles, you will think of even more ways to bond with your children. Retention of knowledge is much higher when you incorporate hands-on learning into your homeschooling. My products will help you do just that. My articles prove that I know what I'm talking about, so that you will have no doubt in your mind that you will be fully satisfied with my products.

Of course, you will want to sign in on the right hand sidebar, because then you will get super cool free stuff, and I will e-mail you once a month with my new articles and whatever else I'm doing. So go ahead and sign in, before you forget.
