Remember how the 20 page lesson plan left you unprepared for 180 days of teaching? What if you could start with a lesson plan catalogue like a recipe book?
I appreciate that. Writing is an area I haven't really dug into yet, so any help would be great. When we started, I needed to put it on the backburner, and I haven't really brought it forward again yet.
As I reread, I realized I misread your comment: This page had *randomized* starters. Since creativity comes from novel combinations, these starters exist for that purpose. That's all.
What a wonderful idea Adam. I love the idea of using building blocks like this to make routines that work for students across a whole year.
I'd be interested in playing with the Excel.
I'd love to send a working version of the spreadsheet!
Also, while my blog addresses a school-context, I'd love to offer any help with teaching writing. Education is education as far as I'm concerned.

The sheet has been sent. And I wouldn't fear writing too much. It sounds easy to say, but you don't have to know every term to communicate clearly.
I want to reinforce the predictability of lessons. This is how we coach now - get folks into routine.

I wouldn't recommend following them literally.
Teachers should thrive with good routines. I hope my end goal--with 100 purposeful plans--can help.
