# Raw Materials

This folder contains all source materials: scans, photos, PDFs, and any unprocessed content from the textbooks.

## Structure

```
Raw/
├── Kouyu/              # Speaking book materials
├── Hanyu Jiaocheng/    # Composition book materials
├── LEDU/               # Reading book materials
├── DevelopChinese/     # Listening book materials (Tingli)
├── Xiezuo/             # Writing book materials
└── Femme/              # Materials from wife (if any)
```

## Purpose

This is the staging area before digitization. Keep original scans and photos here so they can be:
- Referenced if digitized version is unclear
- Re-scanned if needed
- Backed up as originals
- Processed into Markdown (Content/) and JSON (ClassGenSystem/)

## Workflow

```
Physical textbook
  → Scan/photograph → Raw/ (this folder)
  → Digitize → Content/ (Markdown)
  → Structure → ClassGenSystem/ (JSON with games)
  → Study → classGen app
```

## File Organization

Within each book folder:
- Keep chapter-by-chapter if possible
- Name files clearly: `Chapter01-page1.jpg`, `Chapter01-page2.jpg`, etc.
- If full PDFs, name them: `BookName-Full.pdf`

## Notes

- Don't edit files here - this is the "source of truth"
- If you discover errors in digitized content, check here first
- High-quality scans make digitization easier
- Keep originals even after digitization is complete
