Why would I want to create an Annual Plan for teaching a class? It seems like hard work and would take a lot of time while also having to plan for the beginning of the school year. I think that it would be worth the time investment to create an Annual Plan because it would give me a clear view of how I am going to structure learning experiences for my students. I would know where to start as well as how I am going to build upon each lesson throughout the year.
So, how would I start working on an Annual Plan? I might begin by compiling a list of resources available to me that would be useful for teaching that content area. By doing so I would be able to structure the plan to include appropriate field trips and use of resources that are only available during certain times. I could then plan for the remaining weeks by filling in with the other resources available to me. I would also be able to sign up for resources early in the year, when I am more likely to secure the use of the materials when I want them.
Annual Plans seem intimidating to me, but I would like to learn to use them as I plan for my class. I think that they are a helpful tool for organizing the year and would help me stay focused on the learning objectives as I plan daily lessons.
