Well, after completing 2 weeks of school, this is how I am planning and I thought it might help you. First of all, I am completely redoing year 2 as my dialectic children have never read/studied King ARthur or Robin Hood and I know they will enjoy it. So we are alternating hard TOG weeks with my "fun" weeks. I'm going to post my "fun" week so I won't violate copyright laws. My first extra week is all about knights with a study of King Arthur (yes, I know they do knights later but faster and with castles). I list all of the resources they will need/ and assignments. Yes, you can use the yellow sheets. My problem is I have different resources, I use the alternates, etc. So it was easier for me to list them on one page. I have things under history, art, geography, etc. Here is a sample:
Week 1A: What is a Knight History: How to Be a Medieval Knight-Jonathan can read to Megan You Wouldn’t Want to Be a Medieval Knight! Brian read to Megan Knights King Arthur Knights and Castles: Hands-on- Read pp. 1-18 Historical Atlas of Knights and Castles pp. 126-190 Vocabulary King Arthur Worksheet from week 1 upper grammar Family Project Create our own Code of Honor Build a Medieval Village Literature The Sword and the Circle (If they like it, 2 more) Plot worksheet Church History Trial and Triumph 1-6 The Church In History: Ch 1-4 Writing Fill out 2 graphic organizers for short papers OR 1 for a long one Choices: Describe a knight’s armor and weapons (short) Persuade your parents to let you become a knight (short) Explain the process to become a knight (short) Create your own legend (long) Geography Let us see if we can find King Arthur locations on a real map.

Now for HST. I have a a dialectic course where I have the following activities Active reading, questions, mapwork, geography, People/timeline, church history and discussion. (Writing is a separate course.) I am not to the stage where I enter all resources and all of that...this is the easy plan. So I create a reading plan that says read about knights I copy it and put it on 4 days of the week. (They decide what and when they read.) Then I put mapwork and just arbitrarily put a day like Tuesday or Wednesday. I just check it off and put a grade whichever day they put it. I put people/timeline on Thursday but check it off and grade it whenever. Then I put questions and discussions on Friday. In other words, I just stick it on a day. I go ahead and print out the assignments for HST in all of the other subjects, but for TOG I just tell them to plan it out according to the sheet I have above. I have a blank schedule that I give them to have them do this. Then I enter completed and a grade on HST when they have done it. It has been easy and hasn't taken up much time. I hope that helps.
