Plans for Year #5

If anyone's reading this (and people are at least coming here to download Beowulf lesson plans and look at the pictures), I think the year #5 goals post would be a lot more coherent if I also posted exactly what I intended to teach in each of my courses. So, here goes.

SRA English
As many reading and writing exercises and techniques as necessary to help these students pass (preferably) the HSPA test or the SRA tests.

The Decameron by Giovanni Bocaccio
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

In Search of Self Unit
