How is the school day typically broken up? ie a couple of periods of classes, then a break, a couple more, then lunch, then a couple more?
I also need help with the terminology. Is the first class of the day called Class 1? Period 1? What is the first break called? Snack? Recess? Break? I'm assuming the lunch break is called 'Lunch', but if I'm wrong, could you let me know? In Australia, we've done away with the afternoon break. Was it still a part of the typical American High School day in the eighties?
Mine had different periods scheduled. The first Class of the day was typically called 1st Period. We also had a "floating bubble" which was a double period. It rotated each day so you didn't get stuck with a double gym period each Monday, for example.
Lunch was just called lunch. Lunch rotated too. Somedays I had 3 periods and then lunch, some days I had 3 periods, half of 4th period, lunch, then the rest of 4th period, some days I had the full 4 periods and then lunch.
But my school's class scheduling was a little weird. It changed ever so slightly each year while they tried to hone it to be better and better.
