Map a year-long scope and sequence from your standards

Build a year-long scope and sequence for my {{course}} course for {{grade_level}}, for me and {{colleagues}} to plan units from, so that every standard gets taught, prerequisites come first, and the plan fits the real school calendar.

Standards or topics we must cover:
"""
{{standards}}
"""

School calendar (first and last day, holidays, breaks): {{calendar}}
Fixed points (state tests, exam weeks, school events, required common assessments): {{fixed_points}}
Class time per week: {{class_time}}
Curriculum or materials we use, if any: {{curriculum}}
What students usually find hardest, from experience: {{hard_topics}}

Produce:
1. A sequence table with the columns Unit, Weeks (start and end), Standards covered (by code), Big question or focus, Prerequisites from earlier units, Assessment.
2. A coverage check: every standard on the list, with the unit or units where it is taught, so nothing is missed.
3. Notes on the order: up to 6 short reasons for key choices, such as why one unit comes before another or why a hard topic gets extra time.
4. Buffer: where the plan leaves catch-up time, at least one week per term, and what to cut first if the year runs short.

Count only instructional weeks, leaving out holidays and testing days. Size units by how much there is to teach and how hard students find it, not equally. A good scope and sequence is one a new teacher on the team could follow and know what to teach in any given week.

For example, the form of one row: "Unit 3 | Weeks 9 to 13 | [codes] | How do we know how fast something is changing? | Unit 1 graphing | Common assessment, week 13". This example shows the form only.

Do not invent standard codes or add standards that are not on the list. If the list holds more than the available weeks can cover at a reasonable pace, say so plainly and suggest which standards to combine or teach more lightly, rather than squeezing everything in. If the calendar is missing dates I need, such as when the state test falls, mark the affected units [date to confirm].
