This is a free backwards design lesson plan template. This has helped me quickly design lesson plans for my daily lessons. It’s short, to the point, and easy to use. I have seen too many lesson plan templates that are 3-4 pages long. This is realistic and a great, quick, resource/tool to have in your educator toolbox. *Please leave a positive review for this free resource! It’d really help! Thanks, James Given

I use these to minimize classroom interruptions. Students fill out passes and come to me quietly so that I can sign without any questions at all.

This is a modified version of the FSA writing rubric in which the "Evidence" and "Commentary sections are split up. This allows students to see what goes into providing well-written commentary and evidence. I often use this as a peer grading task in which we look at everything aspect of a paper separately.
