I thought this included 20 editable lessons with powerpoints? There are only 2 brief pps? And a brief SOL overview? The critical reading isn't here - just listed names and titles but not referenced or provided? It's okay, but not quite as thorough as the list you have provided suggests. Unless I have missed something in the download?
This full scheme of work on The Taming of the Shrew is an absolute gem.
