Preparation.
WHERE IT HELPS
Producing a lesson structure from an objective Generating examples and practice questions Differentiating for different abilities Suggesting activities Producing resources
HOW TO ASK
"Plan a lesson on [topic] for [age group and level]. Objective: [what they should be able to do afterwards]. Duration: [time]. Include an activity and a check for understanding."
WHAT TO SUPPLY
Your curriculum, your students' level, what they already covered.
WHAT TO ALWAYS CHECK
Factual accuracy of any content Age-appropriateness Alignment with your actual curriculum That the timing is realistic
THE TIMING POINT
Generated plans consistently underestimate how long activities take.
FOR DIFFERENTIATION
"Produce three versions of this worksheet: below, at and above the expected level."
Genuinely useful and time-consuming to do manually.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Teach from a plan you have not read properly Use generated content without checking facts
THE PRACTICAL GAIN
Preparation time, which is where teacher workload concentrates.
