Patrick Gass' Journey: Curriculum Suggestions for Teachers

A Word For Teachers
Lesson plans and activities in this curriculum guide have been planned to accommodate a wide range of student interests and capabilities rather than imposing a rigid age/grade structure upon the materials. We encourage teachers to adapt the materials according to the needs, interests, and capabilities of their classes. Even the diagram above should be taken as an approximation. After all, no one knows your students better than you do.
