=Planning on a Block Schedule=

Each row of this photo depicts a possible lesson plan configuration for a 45-minute period. The numbers represent the number of minutes devoted to the activity. As you look at the photo, think about how well each configuration is likely to capture, sustain, and recapture students' attention. Contrast this photo with the next photo of configurations for 80-minute block periods. user:chericem1

This photo demonstrates some possible configurations for an 80-minute block period.

The middle row of this photo shows how a teacher might allocate time to different elements of effective teaching.

This photo shows how a teacher might use elements of effective teaching (on the yellow stickies) to guide planning. The colored papers represent different blocks of time. Laying out the time blocks first is one way to help you think about the "rhythm" of your class. Layer 4 lists the actual activities a teacher might "slot" into each time block. Layers 5 and 6 show how a teacher might strengthen the lesson by adding in tasks based on the National Standards. Layer 7 indicates how a teacher might integrate technology into specific activities during the lesson.
