10 classroom templates to inspire your next lesson

April 22, 2021 by John R. Sowash

Are you running on empty?

Need some new inspiration?

Here are 10 classroom templates that you can use for your next lesson.

1. Social Media Template

Use these updated classroom templates for Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for your next biography assignment. Way more interesting than a typical biography report!

2. Google site group project

I created this lesson for my 9th-grade biology students. Groups of 4 students study an ecosystem and design a Google Site to summarize their learning. You can modify my framework for other topics as well.

3. Escape room challenge

Design your own escape room using Google Forms! This Form contains several digital “locks”. All you need to do is change each lock to match a clue in your breakout activity.

4. Close reading exercise

Add a reading passage to this close-reading template for a quick and easy reading comprehension activity. I recommend using Highlight Tool add-on for marking up the text as you read.

5. Vocabulary Quick Draw

Practice your vocabulary works or key concepts by asking students to draw a visual representation of each term. This activity is ideal for classrooms with iPads or touchscreen Chromebooks. Watch this video to learn more!

6. Video notes template

If you assign videos for students to watch, use this Google Slide template to ask comprehension and reflection questions. Add as many videos and discussion questions as you would like!

7, Group assignment board

Organize your next group project with this Google Slide template. This example includes six math games designed by Duane Habecker, but you can replace them with any activity you wish!

8. Concept map templates from GitMind

Challenge your students to design a concept map as a review assignment before your next assessment. GitMind (my new favorite tool) has hundreds of templates you can use for free!

Flippity will turn a Google Sheet into a quiz show…it’s magic! Make sure you check out the rest of the awesome templates available from Flippity.

10. Year in review poster

Have your students reflect on what they have learned and how they have grown this year. Thanks to Meredith Aker for sharing this template.
