Sample high school class schedule

1. The first 5 minutes I catch my students' attention.  After I have them “hooked,” I spend…
2. 10 minutes: reviewing yesterday’s lesson
3. 15-20 minutes: directly teaching a new concept or building on yesterday’s concept
4. 15 minutes: getting students involved with an extension activity in groups or alone
5. If enough time remains, I may have the students present in front of the class.

“I think this way while I plan for my week. If my students need extra time reviewing yesterday’s lesson, I am flexible and tweak my schedule to their needs.”
