Plan across the row
Press Print the lesson plan for the one-subject week. Write each day's objective along the top row, then work down the column: what the class does, what you need, how you will check, and what goes home.
A simple weekly lesson plan template, and fuller ones
The simple sheet keeps three tall rows: Objective, Activities and Homework. Others add a Standard row or a Notes column, stack two subjects on one page, or give each of six periods a row with an Objective line under it.
- Teach four days a week? One sheet has Monday to Thursday, and one has empty day headings to write in.
- Two weeks at a glance splits the page into week 1 and week 2 with a heavier line between them.
Questions and answers
What goes in a weekly lesson plan?
On this template, five things for each day: the objective, the activities, the materials, the assessment and the homework. The sample sheet shows a made-up week of grade 3 multiplication.
Is there a weekly lesson plan template PDF?
Yes. After pressing the print button, set the printer to Save as PDF. The file is the one sheet on screen, in Letter or A4.
Can I type into the template?
No. Apart from the sample, each sheet prints blank and is written on by hand. The tool has no boxes to type in.
How is it different from a daily lesson plan?
A week of one subject reads left to right here, with the parts of a lesson down the side. A daily plan is one day, with a row for each subject or period.
