This website offers a free weekly lesson plan template that lists the days of the school week, Monday through Friday and also has 8 periods listed for each day. I think this a fantastically simple but yet efficient lesson plan template and I think it may be better suited for middle school and high school lesson planning. Typically the elementary school day is not divided into periods so using this lesson plan template for the elementary school day may be more challenging.
