How teachers can plan lessons faster with AI

Prompts for drafting lesson plans, differentiating tasks into three levels, and writing quizzes based on common misconceptions.

An assistant can't know your class, but it can produce a solid first draft of the plan in a minute, leaving you to do what only you can: adapt it.

1. Draft the plan

Write a [minutes]-minute lesson plan for [grade] [subject] on [topic], aligned to [standard]. Include an objective, hook, teaching, guided practice, independent task, plenary and a check for understanding.

Always state grade, subject and length; vague prompts produce generic lessons.

2. Differentiate in one go

Take this task [paste] and create three versions: support with sentence starters, core, and an open-ended stretch. Keep the same objective.

This is usually the biggest time saver.

3. Quiz with misconceptions

Write 10 multiple-choice questions on [topic] for [grade]. Base each wrong answer on a common misconception, and mark the answers.

Wrong answers that reflect real errors tell you far more than random distractors.

Keep it honest

Check every fact, never paste identifiable student information, and follow your school's policy on AI tools.
