Lesson Plan Prompts
Great lessons are designed, not improvised. These prompts help you create structured, engaging lessons that achieve learning objectives.
1. Complete Lesson Plan
Best: ClaudeCreate a lesson plan for teaching [topic] to [grade/level]. Include: learning objectives (measurable), prerequisite knowledge, introduction hook, main instruction, guided practice, independent practice, assessment, and estimated timing for each section.
Start with the objective. Everything else should serve it.
2. Learning Objectives
Best: ClaudeWrite learning objectives for a unit on [topic]. Use Bloom's Taxonomy levels. For each objective: state what students will be able to do (action verb), under what conditions, and to what standard. Make them measurable.
Good objectives use action verbs: analyze, create, evaluate, not just "understand."
3. Engagement Hook
Best: ClaudeCreate 5 different hook activities to start a lesson on [topic]. Include: a surprising fact, a real-world connection, a brief demo, a thought-provoking question, and an interactive activity. Each should spark curiosity in under 5 minutes.
The first 5 minutes determine engagement for the whole lesson.
4. Differentiated Activities
Best: ClaudeCreate differentiated activities for [topic] to serve diverse learners. Provide: remediation for struggling students, core activity for grade-level, extension for advanced students. All should target the same objective at different levels.
Differentiation meets students where they are while aiming for the same goal.
5. Formative Assessment
Best: ClaudeDesign formative assessment strategies for [topic]. Include: quick checks during instruction (thumbs up, mini whiteboards), exit tickets, and misconception probes. Focus on diagnosing understanding, not grading.
Formative assessment tells you what to do next. Check often.
6. Cross-Curricular Connection
Best: ClaudeConnect [topic from subject A] to [subject B]. Create an integrated activity that reinforces learning in both areas. Explain how the connection deepens understanding and make it meaningful, not forced.
Real learning is connected. Show students how knowledge relates.
