Question

Dont know how to make a emergent curriculum?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergent_cu...

From my quick read, it sounds like you start with whatever topic the kids are interested in, then the parent dreams up as many ways as possible to get the most amount learning from it, without killing the interest.

Answer 2

Hmm, this sounds like delight -directed education or even unschooling.

Unit studies and lap books are two ways in which you can develop an "emergent curriculum"

Basically it sounds like you allow the student to direct some of the topics in which they are interested in and then you build a unit study on them.  There are lots of books and web sites under Unit studies.  Lapbooks are a popular way that people are using to help maximize a topic and give some hands-on ways to learn.
