A Content Planning I Will Go…

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Mar 20, 2009

I’ve been thinking a lot about how our decision to homeschool easily folds into my career. I have to make up monthly content plans for most of the companies I work for, and I’m going to have to come up with lesson plans for most of the subjects my nephew will be working with. I thought that was an interesting little bit of trivia.

So, back to my original thought – I’m working on my content plans for the month of April because (these months are slipping by quickly) we’re nearly finished with the month of March (already). I have a lot of plans for my suite101 topic and, like every other month, I’m really going to try working through the entire plan (noted on other blogs as my month map, for those of you who may be wondering).

Now, in keeping with the whole homeschooling thing I brought up a minute ago, I will be creating a lot of lesson plans within each category of my topic. I received quite a few requests from teachers in the past month or two about using my articles in their classrooms, and that’s what has inspired this decision. In addition, these lesson plans and tutorials will be another resource homeschoolers can use to build their lesson plans.

My goal is to have all the content planning finished by the end of the weekend, and finish writing our homeschooling curriculum plan by Monday night (in preparation for the meeting we’re having with the school on the 25^th) . . . so, I’ll be working on both at the same time. This will be excellent “practice” for when we begin our homeschooling program because, obviously, I will still be working in the midst!
