All Lesson Plans are tentative and subject to change based on fluctuations in school day activities and students’ working paces. These serve
as a general guideline and may be adjusted daily/weekly/hourly as needed.
*All supplemental materials have been attached to the lesson plans (and will be emailed to you as well). Because this is a long
book (we’re reading about 40 pages a day), you will need to decide what extra activities to include each week based on the pace
you set in your room. You may need to make adjustments as you go. The 2014 English Semester Exam will include Heroes
of Olympus: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.
