Long-Term Plans
On this page, you can find plans that last a little longer than just one lesson. In fact, some of these are intended to last months if not the entire year. These are also organized as much like an archive as possible, which means if you're looking for a specific text (say, Hunger Games), you can use your search feature in your internet browser to search for the title of the book (or use the handy dandy search bar at the top of our website).
