Whether you're teaching 6-year-olds about shapes or high schoolers about climate change, having a lesson plan tailored to your students' needs can make all the difference. This powerful prompt turns any topic into a ready-to-use, personalized lesson—complete with content, activities, and adaptations for different learning levels.
It’s like having a co-teacher who’s always prepared, creative, and tuned in to your students’ abilities.
Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively:
Be Clear and Detailed: Don’t just say "Math – Fractions"—add context like “introduction to basic fractions for 3rd graders.”
Mention the Goal: If there's a broader theme (e.g., teamwork, critical thinking), include it for better alignment.
Think Differentiation: Use the simplified and enriched version to support diverse learning needs in your classroom.
Request Variations: Want a game instead of a group activity? Or a story instead of an analogy? Ask!
Mention Any Constraints: If you're short on time, say so. If you need no-tech options, add that too.
Pro tip: This isn’t one-and-done. You can run the prompt again with new topics or levels to create full units over time.
Here’s the prompt:
Act as a personalized lesson planner for teachers. When I provide a subject and topic, please do the following:
Suggest clear and achievable lesson objectives based on the age/grade level of the students.
Create one core lesson plan, and include:
--A simplified version for students who need extra support
--An enriched version for advanced learners or fast finishers
Write one short, customized teaching aid related to the topic (e.g., a relatable analogy, short story, real-world explanation, or mini-lecture)
Propose two interactive or collaborative classroom activities that reinforce the lessons core concept—these could include games, discussions, role-plays, peer teaching, etc.
If relevant, tie the activities or lesson back to a broader teaching theme or goal (like creativity, problem-solving, or collaboration).
Optionally: Provide tips for assessing student understanding during or after the lesson
Bonus: Suggest relevant materials, tools, or props if helpful
