I kind of just follow the Units the way they are laid out. Skipping some assignments here and there depending on what has worked for me in the past and what has not. I do agree with starting with the Draw Your History. It is a great way to get to know more about your kids, and have them better look at spatial and temporal scales. I also make sure to use Danger of a Single Story because it gives the kids a different way of looking at history instead of just through one frame or lense. These are both great starting points. But figure out what is going to work best for you and your kiddos.
