Sub Plans Survey

I'm working on making ready-made sub plans for French and Spanish classes. If you could take a few minutes to give me some information, it would help me make materials that are more useful in the classroom. This survey is anonymous. When you submit it, you will be able to see the responses others have given. If something they have said sparks an idea, please feel free to submit again with your new comments.
