Literature-Based Unit Study Generator

A literature-based unit study takes one book, not a topic, as its anchor and pulls every subject through the story itself: the setting for geography, the era for history, the vocabulary and structure for language arts, sometimes even the math a character's world requires. It's a unit study, just built from a single narrative instead of a topic like the ocean or Ancient Egypt.

Name the book in [BOOK_TITLE]. List the child or children's ages or grades in [CHILD_AGES_OR_GRADES]. Name the subjects you want the book to pull through in [SUBJECTS_TO_INCLUDE?], or leave blank for a default spread built around what the book naturally supports. Set the length in [DURATION:select:one week,two weeks,three weeks], matched to the book's length and how many subjects you're pulling through it.

1. For each subject in [SUBJECTS_TO_INCLUDE?], build an activity anchored specifically in [BOOK_TITLE]'s actual content, its setting, its era, its characters' world, not a generic activity that happens to be assigned during the same weeks the book is being read.

2. Build a reading schedule for [BOOK_TITLE] across [DURATION], chapters or pages per session matched to [CHILD_AGES_OR_GRADES], and note where the natural stopping points fall for narration or discussion.

3. If [CHILD_AGES_OR_GRADES] lists more than one child, note how the same book can serve multiple ages, a younger child listening and narrating simply while an older child reads independently and writes a deeper response to the same chapters.

4. Flag if any subject in [SUBJECTS_TO_INCLUDE?] doesn't connect naturally to [BOOK_TITLE], and say whether to skip that subject during the unit or teach it on its own separate track instead of forcing a thin connection.

Close with a culminating response to the whole book, a written narration, a project representing a key scene, a discussion of the book's central question, so finishing the last page also finishes the unit with something to show for it.
