Draft a lesson plan from a standard

Get a first draft of a 45-60 minute lesson tied to a specific standard, which you then adjust.

Want it faster? Fill in a form and open the finished prompt in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or another AI.

Tools: ChatGPT, Gemini. Either works; use the one you already pay for.

Steps

1. Copy the exact standard text from your state or district site.
2. Fill in the prompt with your class length, materials you actually have, and anything about your class (ELL students, IEPs, it's the period after lunch).
3. Treat the output as a draft. Cut activities that won't work in your room.
4. Ask for an exit ticket and a quick check for understanding halfway through.
5. Save the final plan in your own template so next year starts from your version.
