Full Semester Planning

This recipe covers planning an entire semester's worth of course materials using Chelle.

Goal

Create a complete semester plan with units sequenced logically and a full set of activities for each unit.

Start with the full textbook — Upload your complete course textbook to get a comprehensive Knowledge Model.
Plan your unit sequence — Think about how many weeks you have and how many units fit. Chelle's suggested structure is a starting point.
Balance concept density — Some units will naturally have more concepts. Split heavy units or combine light ones to balance the workload.
Vary activity types — Not every unit needs every activity type. Plan a mix across the semester.
Generate in batches — Generate activities for a few units at a time. Review and refine before moving on.

Front-load foundational units that other units depend on
Schedule assessments after every 3-4 units
Include review units before major exams
Check the Knowledge Model for prerequisite chains — they'll tell you what must come first
