AI prompts for teachers: lesson plans and worksheets

Teachers spend many hours on preparation that an AI assistant can shorten: drafting a plan, making practice questions, writing the same explanation at three levels. The teacher remains the expert. The assistant does not know your class, your textbook or your board, and it makes factual mistakes, so every draft needs your reading before it reaches a child.

The prompts

A lesson plan

Draft a lesson plan.

Class and subject: [CLASS, SUBJECT]
Topic: [TOPIC, WITH THE TEXTBOOK CHAPTER IF ANY]
Period length: [MINUTES]
What students already know: [PRIOR KNOWLEDGE]
What they should be able to do by the end: [ONE OR TWO OUTCOMES]
What I have in the room: [BOARD, CHART PAPER, PROJECTOR, NOTHING SPECIAL]

Give timings for each part: a short opening activity, the explanation, practice by students, and a quick check at the end. Suggest one question to ask at each stage.

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

A worksheet at three levels

Make a worksheet on [TOPIC] for class [CLASS] with three sections: five easy questions, five of medium difficulty and three that stretch stronger students. Use names, places and situations familiar to children in India. Put the answers on a separate list at the end.

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Questions from a passage

From the passage below, write questions for class [CLASS]: four that can be answered directly from the text, three that need the student to connect two parts, and two that ask for an opinion with a reason. Give answers for the first seven only.

[PASTE THE PASSAGE]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Explain it three ways

Explain [CONCEPT] for class [CLASS] in three different ways: with an everyday example, with a simple activity that needs no special material, and with a comparison to something children already know. Keep each under 80 words.

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Report card remarks

Write a report card remark of two sentences for each student below. Each remark should mention one real strength and one specific next step, in kind and plain words that a parent will understand. Do not use the same sentence twice.

[FOR EACH STUDENT: A LABEL SUCH AS STUDENT 1, THEN STRENGTHS AND AREAS TO IMPROVE. DO NOT USE REAL NAMES]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

A note to parents

Write a short note to parents about [EVENT, REQUEST OR CONCERN]. Include: [DATE, TIME, WHAT TO BRING OR DO]. Polite, clear and under 100 words. Then give the same note in [HINDI / PUNJABI].

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

How to adapt these prompts

Name the board and textbook where it matters, and paste the relevant page for question-setting, so that the content matches what you teach.
Describe your class. Size, range of ability and language spoken at home all change what will work. "Forty students, many first-generation learners" is useful information.
Ask for low-cost activities. Add "no printing and no material that costs money" if that is your situation.
Change the level, not the topic. The worksheet prompt can be rerun with "make section one easier" until it fits.
Ask for a marking guide when you set longer questions: "Add what a full-marks answer should include".

Read everything before it reaches students

Check every question and every answer. Assistants produce wrong answer keys, questions with two correct options and facts that are slightly off, and a worksheet with a mistake teaches the mistake. Check also that examples suit your students and community.

Protect children's privacy. Do not paste students' names, marks, photographs or family details into an assistant. Use labels such as Student 1 and put the names back yourself. Follow your school's own policy on using such tools.

The assistant does not know your official syllabus or the pattern of your board's examination. Take those from the board's own documents.

This is an independent site. It is not connected with any company that makes AI assistants. The prompts are plain text and can be used in any AI chat assistant. An AI assistant can give wrong or made-up answers: check anything important before you rely on it, and do not paste private details into a prompt.
