Planning for Spring Term/Semester


WebEnglish hopes to make every teacher’s life easier by presenting term plan examples and templates to use together with your students and/or colleagues to plan an enjoyable spring term.

WebEnglish suggests your plan be filled with themes, books, films, and whatever else the class might come up with.

Before planning together with your students, you may wish to start the new term with these New Year activities.

If you are familiar with Google Forms, you can make a COPY of this questionnaire (in Chrome):

WebEnglish.se Themes in Google Forms yr 3-6
WebEnglish.se Themes in Google Forms yr 7-9
WebEnglish Themes in Google Forms, level B1

ADAPT the questionnaire for your students by deleting all the themes that do not apply to your class. SHARE it with the students to answer. Their answers will automatically be collected in a spreadsheet.

To continue using paper and pen, just follow these steps:

1. Choose your class level and PRINT OUT (or show on the whiteboard) the list of WebEnglish themes:

Spring topics 3
Spring topics 4
Spring topics 5
Spring topics 6
Spring topics 7
Spring topics 8
Spring topics 9
Spring topics B1

2. Let your students choose which themes they would like to study in English.

3. Plan when the themes will be studied and mark them on a Term Plan

Download Term Plan Templates:

Term Plan Template by week – Spring
Term Plan Template 2 lessons – Spring
Term Plan Template 3 lessons – Spring
The templates are adaptable for all levels

See examples:
Example Term Plan by week – Spring
Example Term Plan 3 lessons – Spring

4. Check the Calendar and choose which annual celebrations you wish to acknowledge in class

5. Plan time for a project on English Speaking Countries

6. Plan time for reading real books

7. Plan time for formative and summative assessments

8. Leave leeway for sudden changes due to world news.

Suggestion: Show an empty plan to your students and fill it in together or show an example plan and let them choose the themes, films, test dates, calendar topics, etc.
