Teaching Lesson Plan Skill
Produces a complete, structured lesson plan for any subject, age group, or setting — from a one-hour corporate training to a full school lesson. Built around clear learning objectives, varied activities, and formative assessment.
Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- Subject or topic
- Audience (age group, experience level, group size)
- Session length (30 / 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes)
- Setting (classroom / workshop / online / corporate training / one-to-one)
- Learning goal (what should participants know or be able to do by the end?)
- Prior knowledge (what can you assume they already know?)
Output Structure
Lesson Plan: [Topic]
Subject: [Subject] | Audience: [Description] | Duration: [X minutes]
Setting: [Setting] | Group size: [N]
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- [Objective 1 — use Bloom's taxonomy verbs: recall, explain, apply, analyse, evaluate, create]
- [Objective 2]
- [Objective 3 — maximum 3–4 objectives per session]
Key vocabulary: [3–5 terms participants will need to know]

Key Explanations and Worked Examples
[Concept 1]
[Clear explanation + one concrete worked example. Explain the concept the way a good teacher would — no jargon without definition, one idea at a time.]
[Concept 2]
[Explanation + example]
Differentiation
For those who need more support:
- [Scaffold: e.g. sentence starters, worked examples, vocabulary cards]
- [Modified task or reduced scope]
For those ready for a challenge:
- [Extension: e.g. apply to a new context, evaluate, create something]
Formative Assessment (Check for Understanding)
During session:
- [Method 1: e.g. Cold calling with no-stakes approach, thumbs up/down, mini whiteboards]
- [Method 2: e.g. Think-pair-share before moving on]
Exit ticket (last 5 minutes):
[One specific question that directly tests the learning objective — not "what did you enjoy?" but "solve this problem" or "explain this concept in your own words"]

104## Quality Checks
105
106- [ ] Learning objectives use action verbs (not "understand" or "know")
107- [ ] Session has a clear hook that establishes relevance
108- [ ] Activities are varied (not all listening)
109- [ ] Formative assessment checks the actual learning objective
110- [ ] Differentiation is specified for both support and extension
111- [ ] Timing adds up to session length
112
113## Anti-Patterns
114
115- [ ] Do not design a lesson plan without explicitly stating the learning objectives — activities must trace back to outcomes
116- [ ] Do not allocate timing that does not add up to the total session length — the plan must be time-feasible
117- [ ] Do not create activities with no assessment component — learning must be measurable, not just delivered
118- [ ] Do not ignore differentiation — a plan with no accommodation for different learning levels or abilities is incomplete
119- [ ] Do not front-load all content delivery without interactive breaks — passive listening degrades retention after 15–20 minutes
