Is the lesson plan template free?

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Using it inside ActivityTracker, with the dates filled in, needs an account.

How do the dates work?

Each task has a day counted from the start: Day 1, Day 3 and so on. In ActivityTracker you pick a start date or a finish date, and every task lands on a real day. Tasks that repeat keep repeating.

Can I change it after I add it?

Yes. It's your project: rename it, add tasks, delete the ones you don't need. Save your version with Save as template and it's there next time.

What if the project I need isn't here?

Describe it in a sentence and the AI in Tasks writes a template for it, with sections and dates you can change before you use it.

About this template

For a teacher planning a unit or short course. Units drift when they are planned lesson by lesson: the last week gets squeezed and the assessment tests things nobody taught.

The project starts from the outcomes and the final assessment, then lays out the lessons, the materials each one needs and quick checks of understanding in between.

Tips from the template

Name the project after the unit and class.
Write the outcomes before you touch the lessons.
Copy a lesson task for each lesson in the unit.
