The 50 minute period sheet has four taller rows. Three courses to a page prints three short plans with cut lines. The week for one course runs Monday to Friday with rows for Objective, Agenda and Due.
- The named segments sheet arrives with six rows written in, from Warm-up to Closing.
- Lab day, seminar day and review day each have a sheet of their own.
Questions and answers
How do you plan a 90 minute block?
This template splits it into timed segments. The sample English class uses six: a 10 minute warm-up, a 15 minute mini-lesson, 20 minutes of group work, 25 of drafting, 15 of peer review and a 5 minute closing.
Is there a lesson plan for a 50 minute period?
Yes. Pick 50 minute period in the Sheet menu. It has the same four columns, four rows and a Period line in place of Block.
Does it work for any course?
Yes. Course and Unit are blank lines. Only the sample names a course, and nothing names a textbook or an exam. The review day sheet has a Test date line and a check box for each topic.
