Class set

One copy for every student: type the first names and get one PDF, with each name on that student's own pages. Every student's pages use the same settings.

Class lists are used only to draw the pages and are never saved.

A one-page daily lesson plan with sections for the objective, materials, opening, instruction, practice, a check for understanding and notes, plus a weekly planner with a column for each school day. Fill it in by hand, or print a stack of blank copies for a binder.

What goes in each part of the lesson plan

  1. Objective: what the lesson is for, in a sentence.
  2. Materials: everything to set out before the lesson starts.
  3. Opening: how the lesson begins.
  4. Instruction and practice: the teaching, then the work students do.
  5. Check for understanding and notes: how you will check the work, and what to change next time.
  6. Weekly planner: a column for each school day, for the whole week on one page.
