Build Your Library: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Product Description
Harry is back at Hogwarts for his sixth year and it wouldn’t be Hogwarts without new and impending danger lurking around every corner. Voldemort is back and building his army of Death Eaters, someone at Hogwarts is cursing and poisoning people and Harry is sure that it is Draco Malfoy up to no good and following in his father’s footsteps. Meanwhile, Dumbledore is preparing Harry for war by showing him Tom Riddle really was and how he became Lord Voldemort. There could be a secret to defeating him for good if they can only figure it out.
In this unit, like the units preceding it, you’ll continue your Magical Terms and Spells Glossary, Magical Devices Guide, Magical Creatures Field Guide, Travel Guide to the Wizarding World (Magical Places), and the Weekly Prophet. As always, there are copywork/dictation passages taken from the novel, as well as vocabulary, discussion questions, and activities to help you get the most out of the story.
You will also be studying a Hogwarts course – this time it’s Potions! Or in Muggle terms, a study of the Periodic Table of Elements. We’ll be reading How to Make a Universe With 92 Ingredients and Ingeniously Daring Chemistry to dig deep into a study of the Elements that make up the world (and universe) around us as well as learning about some of the scientists who helped to discover them.
The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince unit study will take approximately 3 weeks to complete and is appropriate for upper-elementary and up. The PDF file is 54 pages and includes a full schedule, project ideas and 15 activity pages.
