Teachers have the same two jobs as everyone else in this course, dressed differently: draft from your own material (the objective, the worksheet you already wrote) and check one thing before it reaches a student. The time saving is real: differentiation, in particular, is work that AI does well and teachers do at 10pm.
Task 1: a timed lesson outline
| Ingredient | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Objective, in your words | "Students can explain why the rate of photosynthesis levels off" | The outline is built backwards from this |
| Length and class | "50 minutes, Year 10, mixed ability" | Timing and pitch |
| Format | "A table: minutes, activity, what students do, how I check understanding" | You get something you can teach from, not an essay |
| Constraints | "No group work; one worksheet; no video" | The model otherwise assumes resources you do not have |
Your turn
Your turn: the outline prompt
Plan a [LENGTH]-minute lesson for [CLASS]. Objective: [OBJECTIVE]. Give it as a table with columns: minutes, activity, what students do, how I check understanding. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. End with one exit-ticket question.
Hint: The exit-ticket line gives you a one-question check for the end of the lesson without another prompt.
Task 2: three versions of one worksheet
Differentiation is the task where the format instruction does the most work. One worksheet in, three levels out, side by side so you can see they cover the same content. The instruction "do not change the science" matters as much as the level labels: without it, a model simplifying a question will sometimes simplify the fact inside it. Run it as written; the worksheet is included.
Try it
Differentiate a worksheet into three levels
Knowledge check
The Extension version asks students to "calculate the rate of photosynthesis from the light intensity using the formula". No such formula is in your specification. What is going on?
