Do you have to be so specific as to list the lessons you're teaching? I
change things around and try new things every year, but my basic
objectives stay the same (weeks 1-2--line; weeks 3-6--value, etc.)

Always remember--and remind anyone who questions you--that it's written
on paper, which is FLEXIBLE, and not etched in stone. One more point:
Is anyone really gonna go over the damn thing with a fine-toothed comb,
and call you on it if they happen to walk into your classroom and see
you're off your curric map?
