Four parts and a clock time for each

Starts at holds the clock time each part begins, so you can tell mid-lesson whether you are running behind. A or B day is for a school where classes meet every other day. To plan in sentences, the ruled sheet has lines from Opener to Close.

An alternating block schedule lesson plan template

If you teach different classes on A days and B days, one sideways sheet sets them side by side: Block 1 to Block 4, with a class and a lesson for each day. The five meetings sheet follows one course over two weeks.

  • Social studies, geometry and ELA each have a sheet with the rows already named, from Work with sources to Exit problem.

Questions and answers

What is a 90 minute block schedule?

Block scheduling gives students fewer but longer classes a day than a traditional schedule. In one form, students take four courses of around 90 minutes every day for a semester, then four different courses the next.

What is an alternating block schedule?

It is also called A/B block scheduling. Students take three to four courses a day, around 90 to 120 minutes each, all year, on alternating days.

Is this a high school block schedule lesson plan template?

Yes. Block scheduling turns up in middle and high schools more often than in primary schools. Course and Block are blank lines, so the plan fits any class that meets for a long period.

Is there a 90 minute lesson plan template without a block schedule?

Yes. The sheet in three parts of 30 minutes has Class and Date lines, no Block line, and a row for the first, middle and last half hour.

How do you fill in a 90 minute block lesson plan template?

The sample shows one way: a geometry class with a 10 minute opener at 9:40, 25 minutes of notes, 40 of practice and a 15 minute close. Its minutes are an example, not a rule.
