Asked to work during FMLA

Hello, I work in southern Virginia as a middle school history teacher for public schools. I’m having a baby in April and plan to take 12 weeks of FMLA at the start of the next school year (end of august – End end of November). Administration told me I need to have daily lesson plans as well as still put grades in. I believe this is actually illegal as I will be on leave and not being paid for any of the work. I thought the purpose of a long term sub was to do grading and lesson plans themselves. Is it illegal or can administration instruct me to do lesson planning and grading while on FMLA?
