The biggest disadvantage is the time that it takes to make annual plans. This can be a very time consuming process for a teacher. But once an annual plan has been created, it can be the framework to use each year. Invest your time in an annual plan and it may save time in the long run!
Another disadvantage can be in regards to the resources you have. Some schools share resources and if you have planned on using them at a specific time, things can happen where the teacher that was using the resources isn't finished and you have to scramble for alternate plans. If all the teachers in the grade level use annual plans, this could hinder sharing resources. Teamwork in this situation would be key!

An excellent point about teammwork and sharing resources. Many grade levels do team planning for this very reason!
