I like how you've adapted the classical scope and sequence, including some local history, government, environmental science, an topics that could be missed in the four-year cycle. I've been toying with the idea of adapting this sequence myself. It's a very good idea to map it all out, so you know where you're going and what topics might be missed. I think I'll do this soon myself!
ReplyDeleteI've only *barely* started to think about next year, let alone the next several! I better take some notes here...
