Lesson implementation:
Use this prompt when you’re starting a unit and need a bird’s-eye view. The AI-generated plan gives structure across the week while leaving room for your own resources and teaching style. Each day’s outline can then be expanded into full plans or adjusted for your cohort’s needs. This is great for team planning or sharing ideas across year levels.

You can also generate similar outlines for casual or relief teachers to follow. Differentiate by adding scaffolded versions of activities or built-in extension tasks. This tool is especially handy in busy terms or when covering new curriculum updates.
