Planning Docs (including Distance Learning)  

Linked above are my lesson plans for 23-24 done with 5E and the workshop/gradual release model.

For second semester, for many years I included a PBL that encompassed Unit 5 (mining, but you could easily develop farming into this), Unit 6, and Unit 8.  Note that these documents HAVE NOT been updated to reflect the new CED requirements.
