Questions and answers

Are there elementary Spanish lesson plan templates?

Yes. The elementary sheet fits Spanish or any language taught to young learners: a greeting and song, words for today, a game or movement, a story or picture talk, something to make or draw, and a goodbye routine.

Is it a French lesson plan template or a Chinese lesson plan template?

Either. Language is an empty line, and no sheet prints a word in any language but English, so the same forms serve French, Chinese, German, Latin or any other.

Is this a LOTE lesson plan template?

Yes. LOTE stands for languages other than English, a name some school systems use for the subject. The forms are the same whatever your school calls it.

Is there a foreign language lesson plan template PDF?

Yes. Choose the sheet, press print, and save it as a PDF from the print window in place of sending it to a printer.

Are the forms written in English?

Yes. Every heading is in English. The sample, a first-year class on greetings, names the greetings in English and prints no word of the language taught. The words of the language are yours to write in.
