## What the weekly template covers

- **The week at a glance**: Topic, weekly goal, lesson length and standards at the top, so anyone can see where the week is going.
- **One block per day**: Objective, warm-up, main activity, practice, check for understanding and homework for each day.
- **Lessons that build**: Each generated day builds on the day before and leads to an end-of-week check.

## How to plan a week of lessons

1. **Set the weekly goal**: Decide what students should know or be able to do by Friday.
2. **Brief the planner or fill in the template**: Choose the weekly format and a grade band, or type straight into the daily blocks.
3. **Adjust day by day**: Move activities around assemblies, short days and anything students need more time on.

## Weekly or daily lesson plans?

A weekly plan shows the arc of the week on one page, which helps you pace a topic and spot a day that is overloaded. Daily plans hold more detail for each lesson.

Many teachers keep a weekly plan for the overview and write a daily plan only for the lessons that need one, such as labs, assessments and days with a substitute. The generator's weekly format gives you the overview; switch to the standard format for a detailed single lesson.


## Tips for planning a week

Small habits that keep a week on track:

- Write the end-of-week check first, then plan the days toward it
- Leave one flexible slot for reteaching
- Vary the kind of activity across the week, not only within a lesson
- Keep Friday's homework light, or skip it
