    O.K.  Now for my next Organizer question.  I think I already know the answer to part of it…..I’m wanting to add a special resource (poetry) and if I don’t have specific titles that I want to use and schedule out, then I would need to just add the title of the poem we read as we come to it each day?  I kind of pick and choose based on my mood, right now.  So, if we read one poem today and two the next, I just add those titles to the notes section when I complete the work that day, right?

    Also, I can’t figure out how many divisions to add for that.  If I want to do a particular poet for three or six weeks, and we normally read poetry every day, then would I add 15 or 30 divisions under a special resource titled William Blake poetry? 

    Which leads to one more question — if I choose the option to “skip this assignment”, does that show up in the reports section?  I’m just wondering — I’m trying to plan ahead and I don’t think I’d want to see a bunch of skipped assignments in my final reports. 

    Thanks for all the help!

    ETA:  I accidentally clicked before I changed this topic to CM Organizer…. sorry!

    You’re sounding like a pro, my dear! 

    I’m wanting to add a special resource (poetry) and if I don’t have specific titles that I want to use and schedule out, then I would need to just add the title of the poem we read as we come to it each day?  I kind of pick and choose based on my mood, right now.  So, if we read one poem today and two the next, I just add those titles to the notes section when I complete the work that day, right?

    That’s exactly how I do it, yep.

    If I want to do a particular poet for three or six weeks, and we normally read poetry every day, then would I add 15 or 30 divisions under a special resource titled William Blake poetry?

    That sounds right.

    if I choose the option to “skip this assignment”, does that show up in the reports section?

    I just tried this on my “sandbox account” (where I can test and try things) and the skipped assignments did not show up on the Summary Report or Detailed Report. Both types of reports listed only the assignments we did and just left out the skipped one.

    Thanks so much, Sonya –

    And, out of curiousity — are there other options for scheduling these things that I’m missing or is the way I’m describing it pretty much it?

    If you want to pick and choose poems on the fly as you go along, that’s the easiest way to schedule it that I know of.

    FYI, We do have a video on scheduling special resources that may give you creative ideas to schedule things like picture study, nature study, poetry, sports, music, or even chores into the CM Organizer.
