Organizing Zotero Citations for Fun and Syllabus

I use Zotero to organize academic references and the material I use for my research into.... lets say.... beans. I also teach a class on beans. I'm trying to organize and/or tag these references in a way that makes it easy to find what I'm looking for and also to quickly generate citations that I can past into a syllabus that is divided by weekly readings...

... Zotero allows you to move documents into folders and subfolders, as well as to creating subject matter tags. Should create a tag for each of the various kinds of beans - lentils, kidney, navy, etc - and tags for topics with that - growing, recipes with, history of - and then put each week's readings into a folder labeled Week 1 - Agriculture, Week 2 - Human Interaction, etc .

Or is it better to use folders for subject matter topics and tags to separate out which documents are on the syllabus and which week they belong to? (There are many that won't be on the syllabus; or will be optional readings.) Are there other best practices out there that I should be aware of? Would other citation managers (like Mendely or Endote but not LaTeX/BibTex) work better for this?
