How to Make an Agenda for Class

A class agenda keeps both teacher and students on track throughout each class period. An agenda is a time-management and organizational tool that lists, in an outline format with bullet points, the activities to be completed during class on a particular day. Some agendas even specify time spans so that teachers and students will know how long they have to perform certain activities. Once you make your agenda, pass out copies of it to your students so that they'll know what they'll be doing in class that day.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open a word-formatting software program on your computer. Create a new document and title it "Agenda." Type the date of the class beneath the word "Agenda" so you'll know the exact date the agenda pertains to. If you teach multiple classes, you should also specify which class the agenda is for, such as social studies, science or algebra.

    • 2

      Make a list of the items you want to cover during your class. For instance, if the lesson plan for your science class involves teaching students about human anatomy, you might make a list that includes the digestive system, the nervous system and the skeletal system. Give each item that you want to cover its own number or bullet point.

    • 3

      Assign a time frame to each bulleted item on your agenda list. For instance, if you're going to study the digestive system first, you might write that the digestive system lesson will go from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. You then might indicate that nervous system topics would be covered between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m.

      Add bullet points for in-class activities. If you break up your lesson plans with group work or individual activities, specify so on the agenda.

    • 5

      Leave time at the end of your class agenda for questions and answers. It's a good idea to wrap up your lesson plans by giving students a chance to clarify any misunderstandings about the material.

      Print out the agenda and make copies for your students.
