Then I found the All About Pokémon Hands-On Unit Study Course on Teachable for Grades 3-8 and I did a little happy dance!
From the Teachable site:
The All About Pokémon Unit Study includes 4 main areas:
1- Learn & Explore: in this section, your child will read articles and watch videos on anime, the history of Pokémon, the Japanese language, Japan and Japanese culture. Through each lesson in Learn & Explore, your child will complete various assignments and earn Poké Points along the way!
