Well that's dreadful preparation. I'm quite worried for your students if you are asking for random templates online instead of preparing it for them.

Either way, here's an example application I created that handles saving text to a file using AsyncTask:

I agree with you on the dreadful preparation. I don't feel like a college level graduate would leave finding something like this up to a forum website. I mean if you don't want to put the effort into it, then you probably should not be teaching.

If you want some examples, google offers an application maker here:
