Lesson plans progress
Monthly pacing guides for two out of three classes are done! Sitting at a cafe without my laptop yielded an extraordinary amount of work completed :)
The third is a seniors honors class. The old teacher kept the pacing guide roughly the same as the regular class, except that all writing assignments had a 10% longer word requirement, plus maybe one extra short novel. The department chair made it clear that she does not like this arrangement, and so I need to give some more thought and consideration to what I want to do. Probably I will choose a few short stories that have more challenging themes and more subtlety and mix those into the syllabus. No extra novels. I don't think I could handle it.
Next steps: I have the literature text books and can start drawing up daily plans for the literature sections of the two classes with finished pacing guides, but for the grammar sections I am going to have to get access to the school. For some reason I did not grab the grammar, vocab and SAT workbooks at the beginning of summer.
