How do you really plan lessons?

 Yes, I have written many, many, formal lesson plans.  What do my plans really look like?  Most of my plans are lists.  Before class starts, I pull up a slideshow I saved in Google Drive and open relevant links.  The lists are road maps of exercises or activities to do in a given class.

I do organize things pretty well in Google Classroom by subject and topic.  When I start a new class, I copy the previous Google Classroom to save all the links and assignments.  This helps enormously with planning, too.  I just open Classroom and look at the previous year’s activities.  



But my real plans for Composition are below.  The notebook has specific ideas.  I jot notes during class, too.



I have a full year of notes for Biology.  Every time I teach Bio, I use the original notes to see how my pacing compares to previous years.



The last type of plan is a question in Google Classroom.    What are we doing?  What did we do?  These are labeled by dates.
