thanks

You don't say how much experience you have.  I am very experienced but I would
never try to create a whole curriculum, especially this late in the game.  I
would choose one book and use that as a path to follow, and then take diversions
along the way.  This way you won't get lost...you will always be able to get
back on the path, but you will be able to explore other things that interest
both you and the class by just wandering off.
