MS/HS ASL/English Bilingual Lesson Planning Template

Use this template to plan a lesson with a clear purpose for each language. It helps you decide where ASL will lead instruction, such as building concepts and discussion, and where English will lead, such as reading text or writing responses. You map the lesson flow phase by phase, note the visual supports students need, and plan how they will show what they learned in ASL or in print. Language planning simply means deciding on purpose when and why to use each language. Use it to make bilingual instruction intentional rather than left to chance.
