Lifepac Art Unit I Lesson Plans

Typically for a workbook (and sometimes for a text book), I would make lesson plans in a grid format, and after printing the lesson plans I would glue them to the inside front cover of the workbook. I kept a copy of the lesson plans in my notebook, and when I thought it was necessary, I would add notes to my "teacher" plans.aop electives art unit one lesson plans

Below I will copy and paste the student plans and the teacher plans and I will include printable files.

Pasting the Lesson Plans into the V Planner

If copying and pasting the TXT plans into V Planner, be sure that pasting does not change the background color of the S Sheet. If the S Sheet background changes to white after pasting, be sure to fix that by always selecting "Match Destination Formatting." See illustration below, click illustration to see full sized image.
