Classroom Lessons New

• The teacher must have a section in the Master Schedule Editor to be able to make a lesson. There does not need to be any students assigned to that section though.
• If Grading Period Lock has your grading period(s) locked, then you will not be able to make changes in your Lesson Book.
• The time of day that the lesson appears on the teacher`s lesson book is controlled by the bell schedule created in Bell Schedule Maintenance. If there is not a bell schedule, then it would look at the calendar in the Calendar Editor and use the start/end time to develop a schedule from there.

1. For the Course and Marking Period previously chosen, click on the button New.
2. The New Lesson page will appear.
3. Create Lesson Per Day - With this option checked, if the Plan Start Date and the Plan End Date cover a range of days, the lesson plan will be unique per day within the date range.

   • Check the box if this lesson is only a lesson plan and needs not be displayed in the gradebook as an assignment. The default is to be checked.
   • Uncheck this box only if the lesson plan is also going to be a graded assignment that will display in the gradebook as well as Lesson Book. This will un-gray the area at the bottom of the window so that assignment grading information can be added. Also, this will make the Lesson Plan/Assignment orange in the Lesson Book, but make sure Assignments is checked in Tools→ Show Me.
10. Plan Start Date: defaults to the Monday beginning the week of the assignment. Non-instructional days will not be included in the days of the assignment. Note: If you create, edit, copy or import a lesson plan for a day outside this week, you will receive a pop up message.
11. Plan End Date: must be the last day the lesson will be taught.

    Note: You can create a lesson plan for the next school year while in the current year. But, to view the next year lesson plan, you must go back to the set up box and change to the following school year.
