How do you plan out how many lessons weekly


Recommended Posts

When planning out lessons for the year, or even the quarter, do you include tests when you're counting to see how many lessons per week you will have to do?

 

For example, I am taking a Civics course next year. It is a 1/2 year course, but I don't plan on taking it 5 days a week, for 18 weeks straight. I planned on spacing it out over the whole year. When planning how many classes a week, I am going to count the suggestions they give, and should I also count the tests as a "lesson" or just do those on extra time?

 

I am not sure how many lessons there are in each unit, it is 5 units, but when i see how many lessons to do weekly, should I include tests and projects?

 

Do you, or do you expect your high schooler to do the projects on their own time and their tests on extra time?

 

I plan on using Fridays as a light field trip, test day. Is that what others do as well?

Hi,

Tests are a school day, sometimes we study for and take the test on the same day. Projects are done some during school time, and some nights and weekends, depending on how much time we have. I try to not let projects (papers for us) get us behind. Sometimes it gives dd motivation to get them done during school time if she knows that she will have to work on it over the weekend to keep the deadline. Other times, she prefers to work on them when she isn't doing other schoolwork.

Tests are scheduled during regular school time in our home. Bigger projects (like papers) may be done over the weekend (although there is some time to work on them during "school time". I think if you are spreading out a semester class over a year, you could schedule projects during "school time".

I plan in time for lessons, tests, and projects.

 

If it's going to take time out of their days to do it, then that needs to be scheduled in. Of course, they can work ahead if they have time and an inclination, but they need some time management frame of reference IMO.
