The Lesson Plan Name lists gives you a way to manage all your Lesson Plan Names and Objectives in one place. You will use this list to archive or reactivate Lesson Plans throughout your homeschooling career. When a Lesson Plan Name has been archived, that Lesson Plan will no longer be available for scheduling, nor viewable in the Lesson Plan area, until it has been reactivated.

To access the Lesson Plan Names list, click or touch Lesson Plan Names under the 'Manage Lists' section of the HSTOnline menu.

When creating a Lesson Plan, you'll want to give it a name that reflects the contents of the plan. Your Lesson Plan Name might be the name of the Course or Unit Study, it might be the name of a Resource, it might be a name that incorporates a grade level and subject, a student name and school year, etc. The only limits are your imagination and the 150 character spaces available.

• Access your list of Lesson Plan Names from the link under the 'Manage Lists' area of the HSTOnline menu. This listing contains only the names and notes of the various lesson plans you create.
• To create or review Lesson Plan contents, click the Lesson Plan link on the HSTOnline menu. For directions on creating LPs, please refer to the Lesson Plan Help Page.
• To learn how to share your own Lesson Plans with others or to review Lesson Plans others have made available, please refer to the Sharing Lesson Plans Help Page.

The Lesson Plan Name field in Lesson Plan add, edit and multi-edit windows is a Smart-Entry field.

The Lesson Plan Names list is sorted alphabetically by the Name field. You can group or sort by any column. The Objectives (*) column displays an asterisk if there is text in the Objectives field and is blank if there is not text in that field. The Objectives (Preview) field displays, in plain text, the first 150 characters from the Objectives field. The Active column shows a Y if the Lesson Plan Name is active and an 'N' if the Lesson Plan Name is archived.
