How to Plan One Day with This Template

  1. Write the Objective and Standard

    Fill the two boxes first, so every part of the table below serves the same target.

  2. Add Times to the Table

    Put a start time beside each part so you can see whether the lesson fits the period.

  3. Describe What Happens

    In each row, write the question, model or task. Keep it short enough to read at a glance.

  4. List Materials and Checks

    Note what to copy or set out, and the question or ticket that shows who understood.

  5. Plan Your Differentiation

    Write who needs a scaffold or an extension, and what each will get, in the last box.
