Edits: The primary changes I made to this document were small, tedious things. The first, was changing the description of each unit
from a bulleted list of the topics covered, to sentences describing these things. The second, and last change I needed to make was
changing the Key NCES Objective for each unit. I had chosen multiple before we were told in class that "key" should only be one.
Because of this, I had to go back and choose one that I felt was most important to each unit.
