I am having difficulty getting an entire lesson plan.  Am I doing something wrong?

 

Some visitors have reported experiencing problems when viewing the .pdf files.
Most often the problem has been traced to a slow Internet connection, older end-user equipment, a busy server at IU19, or an older version of Acrobat Reader.
 
If you experience difficulties, please make sure you have updated your version of Acrobat Reader.
Should the problem persist, please save the file to a local folder on your computer before viewing it.
On a PC all you have to do is right-click on the title of the lesson plan, select "Save Target As...", select a location on your computer's hard drive, and then click "Save."  On a Mac you will need to click and hold on the title of the lesson plan and then follow the "Save As" prompts.
 
Once the plan(s) are saved you can open Acrobat Reader and then view each plan individually.
Please contact your technician if the problem persists.
 

 
Is it possible to get all of the lesson plans for a particular year or language base without having to download them individually?
 
 
       Yes.  Please click here or visit the Lesson Plans main page for a list of .zip files containing the plans you would like to download.
 
 
 

What resolution should my monitor be set to?

 

1024 x 768 is the minimum recommended setting.

 

 

I believe that I found an error or plagiarized work.  Where do I report it?

 

Please send an email to Sister Mary Helen Kashuba.
