High School The History of the King Cake
ELA, Reading, Writing, Holiday & Seasonal, Research, Resources for Teachers, Social Studies, History, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
Hey mama! As I am right there in the trenches with you navigating the high school years with my own 9th grader, I know firsthand how tough it is to find those "unicorn" resources—the ones that are actually academically rigorous but don't bore our teens to tears. I poured my heart into creating this History of the King Cake unit because I wanted something for my daughter that moved past the basic Mardi Gras trivia and really pushed her to think about how cultures evolve and adapt. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: A detailed reading passage on King Cake history. 20 Complex prompts requiring paragraph-style answers. Detailed example responses for easy grading. Structured note-taking sheets for active reading and retention. TOPIC COVERED: Exploring the pagan roots of Saturnalia rituals. How Epiphany and the Magi shaped tradition. French and Spanish influences in early Louisiana. Deep dives into colors, shapes, and hidden babies. When it comes down to it, my heart’s desire is to put tools in your hands that make your homeschool days feel a little lighter and a lot more meaningful. This History of the King Cake really was a labor of love for me—I built it to meet the exact same high standards I hold for my own daughter’s 9th-grade year, and it is such a joy to finally share it with your family. It is honestly the perfect way to lean into the fun of the Carnival season without feeling like you are falling behind on those heavy-hitting high school English and History requirements. I have always found that when we give our teens something truly fascinating and culturally rich to sink their teeth into, that is when they actually start to love the process of learning. Thank you so much for supporting my work and letting me be a small part of your journey; I cannott wait to hear how this unit brings a little "Big Easy" magic to your high school lessons. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

High School The American Semiquincentennial Unit Study
Reading, ELA, Writing, 4th Of July, Holidays, Holiday & Seasonal, Resources for Teachers, History, Social Studies, High School, Homeschool Resources, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Teacher Tools, Writing Prompts, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests
I am right there in the trenches of high school with my own teen, so I know how hard it is—honestly—to find resources that do not skimp on academics just to keep a providential focus. I put my heart into The American Semiquincentennial: A Covenant of Liberty because I wanted my homeschooler (and yours!) to look past the usual July 4th noise and actually understand the 'covenantal' bones of our nation. This is not just another dry history unit. It is a labor of love I built to challenge our homeschoolers' hearts and minds, connecting our founding documents directly back to biblical principles and divine grace. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Deep-dive text on America’s 250-year providential journey. Essential theological and civic terms with concise definitions. 10 note-taking sheets to capture key concepts effectively. 10 deep-thinking prompts with a full teacher’s answer key. TOPICS COVERED: How colonial charters established a biblical framework. God’s hand in national survival and the Civil War. John Adams’ vision for virtue and "ordered liberty." Mandates for intercessory prayer and being "salt and light." I truly hope this The American Semiquincentennial: A Covenant of Liberty study ends up being so much more than just a box to check off for high school credit—I want it to be a real bridge between history and faith for your homeschooler. We are in such a unique, fleeting moment as we head toward the Semiquincentennial, and I cannot think of a better time to ground our homeschoolers in what a 'covenant of liberty' actually looks like. My prayer is that this does not just fill their heads with names and dates, but honestly helps them grow into virtuous stewards of the freedom we’ve been given. It is an honor to walk this road with you as we point our teens back to the true Author of liberty! If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

You know that feeling when December hits and suddenly your teenager is more interested in hot chocolate than sentence structure? Yeah, me too. Last year, I spent way too many mornings fighting with my eigth-grader about grammar while she stared longingly at the twinkling lights on our Christmas tree. That is when it hit me – why was I making this harder than it needed to be? Instead of battling the season, I decided to embrace it. These 2025 December ELA Bell Ringers were born from pure desperation and a strong cup of coffee on a particularly challenging December morning. I needed something that would actually hold my daughter's attention while still covering the ELA skills she needed to practice. Turns out, when you wrap grammar fixes in winter themes and poetry analysis in holiday spirit, teenagers suddenly find English a lot more interesting. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: NO-PREP time-saving resource that is ready to print and go. 23 December activities your students/homeschoolers will actually enjoy. Grammar, creative writing, vocabulary, poetry, and literary analysis all in one. Winter and holiday themes that will keep your students/homeschoolers engaged. TOPICS COVERED: Grammar that doesn't feel like punishment. Creative writing that sparks imagination. Vocabulary that goes beyond memorization. Poetry without the intimidation factor. After three years of using and tweaking these activities in my own homeschool, I can honestly say they have become one of my December must-haves. My daughter actually asks for the creative writing prompts now (miracle of miracles). The grammar components have become our go-to review when I notice her slipping back into old habits, and the vocabulary work has strengthened her writing in ways I didn't expect. Whether you are looking for that perfect December learning balance, need emergency lesson plans when life gets crazy, or want activities that actually make your teenager think (and maybe even smile), these 2025 December ELA Bell Ringers have become the swiss army knife of my homeschool supplies. Sometimes the best resources are the ones that solve problems you didn't even know you had. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review.
