    This was designed by one of the the teachers that has been teaching the class for several years, based off of the standards the district put in place for the class.  I believe I have the freedom to rearrange it, as long as I teach all of the content.   

    I do love the structure of OER too.  Because when I came to this district they had gotten rid of all of their textbooks and use something called Beyond Textbooks, which is really not rigorous at all.  Since I had been working with OER since the pilot of their World content, i just went straight to here and started using it.  It has been my number 1 resource ever since,
