I think you're on the right track, though, cowman. I think some teachers don't really have a clear lesson plan in mind, and they just make it up as they go along. Having a written curriculum will give you and your students a sense of direction and accomplishment, I think. You can even spend the first lesson planning out the curriculum; deciding approx. how many sessions to spend on each section, and regular evaluations and such. It would make the lessons seem more professional, IMO.
