Unit Study: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

January 10, 2015

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of SecretsI am so excited to finally present the Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets unit study!

Welcome back to the exciting world of wizards, mythical creatures, magic, and danger! Harry’s second year at Hogwarts gets off to a rough start and it only gets worse when students are being mysteriously petrified. You’ll explore Harry’s world with a variety of activities, many that are continuations from the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Unit Study. You’ll continue your Magical Terms and Spells Glossary, Magical Devices Guide, and Weekly Prophet, but you’ll also be adding in a Magical Creatures field guide, as well as several activities tied directly to the story. As always, there are copywork/dictation passages taken from the novel, as well as vocabulary and discussion questions.

You’ll begin to familiarize yourself with the night sky and the constellations that decorate it while learning about the mythology behind many of them. You’ll read from the Night Sky Atlas and Stories in the Sky (Dot to Dot in the Sky), and complete fun and educational projects – from keeping a Stargazing Journal to making a Constellation guide book.

Harry Potter Unit Study Frequently Asked Questions:
Do we have to start with the Sorcerer’s Stone unit study, or can we jump in at any of the books?

Yes and no. While these unit studies are semi-standalone if they had to be, they are designed to be completed in the order that the book series ran. As with the storyline in the books, the unit studies continue to build off of each other as they progress. You will start several activities such as keeping a glossary of magical terms and spells or creating a field guide of magical devices, to name a few. These will be used through the unit study series and new activities and additional entries will be completed in the subsequent lesson plans.

If we already read the book, do we have to read it again to complete the unit study?

The unit study is designed to enhance the reading (or re-reading) of the book. While you are going through the chapters, vocabulary words are pulled out and activities are performed that correlate with what you are reading. This is the perfect unit to complete on your first reading of the book, as well as a perfect companion for reading the book again and diving deeper into the lore and story.
