Continually Editing

September 5, 2008 by KellyH.

As I go through the new lessons, I’m editing the work that Grace and Pam have done–meshing it together, splitting it where possible, trying to arrange each unit just so. As I move along, I pull up pages from the last unit to use as templates (for continuity). I think that’s one of the things that is slowing me down. I’m trying to make notes as I go, sort of create a style sheet for the pages. It’s tedious. Earlier this week was my birthday, and I spent the day creating Language Arts lessons for one of the units. My mom called to wish me happy birthday and she asked what I was doing. After I explained about the editing and the fleshing-out of the curriculum, she said, “That sounds like work.” I said it was, but that I was really, really enjoying it!

I LOVE doing this! The hardest part is coming up with Science lessons, or Social Studies lessons. I’m better at Creative Writing and Language Arts, and even Life Skills (yeah, I’m including Life Skills in this curriculum). But, I have lots of ladies to bounce ideas off of, and they’re all praying for this curriculum to get finished. I can’t wait myself!
