Here's how you can help:

missing from below

Just to do the opposite of what you suggest, I had a thought that
perhaps on day 3 you should cover less libraries rather than more. I'd
much rather spend half a day exploring a complete example of developing
a web server with allegroserve and maybe accessing a sql database or
doing some ajax, rather than try and do an overview of so many
libraries.

Something like Peter's mp3 database and server for example.

I also think it's great that you start out with slime showing them how
great that is. IMHO slime and emacs make lisp development really stand
out. Your code is alive on the page in a way that it cannot be in other
languages due to the way the environment works.

- point me to or suggest a short exercise or
programming task that you found helpful in your
learning

A few things I did while learning :

word frequency counter with a binary tree

boggle board solver

1 player text based blackjack game, including cheesey ascii card
drawing
