The Weekly Planner is useful for planning all subjects’ lesson plans for one week. It usually comprises 8 rows and 5 columns and has a header space for writing the name, grade and academic year of the student. It also has a ruled space at the bottom for the purpose of writing notes.
Another kind of Weekly Log is available that consists of the standard 5 columns and 7 rows. One of the rows in this planner is ruled and extended and can be used for subjects like Language Arts. A small space is provided for writing the name of the lesson above each column and a space for notes is situated at the bottom of the page. At the top of the page, there is space for writing the name of the student and the date. Apart from the large square space at the top, a list space is also situated beside the ruled rows in the plan list.
The Term and Subject Planner helps you in planning by subject rather than by week. The 8 Week Planners belong to this category. They are meant for planning 8 weeks (2 months) of a school year.
