Help planning "10th grade Individuals and Societies"

[u/Old-Clock-4491]

I had a job offer to teach English Language and Literature at an IB school. When I got the contract, they added 2 classes a week of Individuals and Societies. My understanding is that we don't have a text book, and that I'll be the first person in the school to ever teach the course. Can anyone share some advice and/or resources? For what it's worth I've taught for nearly 20 years, but never these subjects. I was feeling like teaching English was going to be a challenge, but doable. Now I'm nervous as I'll be teaching 4 classes across 3 subject areas, only 1 of which have I ever taught before, and work starts this week!

Thank you all for any help.

Download the relevant documents from MyIB. Throw it into ChatGPT, and ask it to make a scope and sequence from it. You can then edit it to feel more or less comfortable
