Comprehensive Lesson Plan

(6)
Due to popular demand, here is a copy of the 'comprehensive' lesson plan I used during my PGCE. It is a blank plan designed to be very comprehensive and it ensured that I covered as many of the standards as possible. With the template, each lesson took about 15 minutes to make. Of course feel free to take a Pick and Mix approach. I&'ve also included a link to my page on seating layouts for those who are interested, which includes a zipped set of WMF drawing files for use in Microsoft Office.
