Who this is for
Teachers who have the lesson clear in their head but dread filling in the lesson-plan template every evening.
The moment this saves you
I spend an hour every evening fighting a lesson-plan template, the part of teaching I dread most, when the actual lesson is already clear in my head, I just can't face typing it into the boxes.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Lesson plan for tomorrow, grade 7 science, topic is photosynthesis. Objective is students can explain the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis and why it matters for the food chain. Start with a hook, I'll ask where the mass of a tree comes from, most kids say the soil and they're wrong, it's mostly from the air, that always blows their minds. Then a short explanation with the diagram, like 15 minutes. Then a hands-on, the leaf and bag experiment in pairs, 20 minutes. Wrap up with an exit ticket, draw and label the process. Materials, plants, clear bags, the worksheet. Homework is read the chapter section.

I'm going to talk through a lesson I'm planning. Turn it into a structured lesson plan: a bold "Lesson plan: [topic], [class], [today's date]" heading, then bold-labeled parts: **Objective**, **Hook** (with timing and the question/move I described), **Direct instruction** (with timing), **Activity** (with timing), **Wrap-up** (assessment/exit ticket), **Materials**, and **Homework**. Include timings exactly as I give them. Keep my specific hooks and activities. Don't invent activities, materials, or timings I didn't mention. Output only the plan.
