How We Use It
Claude is our go-to for building out full unit studies and semester plans. When we planned our American history unit, Claude created a 12-week scope and sequence with book lists, discussion questions, primary source suggestions, and weekly project ideas. The depth of planning it produces is genuinely impressive.
