How to Use Lesson Plan Generator
- 1Enter the subject and the specific lesson topic — 'Science' plus 'Introduction to photosynthesis' rather than just 'Science'.
- 2Set the grade level, which controls vocabulary, pacing and how much scaffolding the plan assumes.
- 3Choose a duration: 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes.
- 4Click 'Generate Lesson Plan'.
- 5You get a plan in the standard five-phase structure with minutes allocated to each — hook, direct instruction, guided practice, independent practice, closure — plus three or four SMART objectives, a materials list and an exit ticket question.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the timings worked out?
They're apportioned from the duration you choose: roughly 10% hook, 25% direct instruction, 30% guided practice, 25% independent practice, 10% closure. A 60-minute lesson comes out as 6 / 15 / 18 / 15 / 6, so the plan adds up to the period you actually have.
Does it include learning objectives?
Yes — three or four SMART objectives written with Bloom's Taxonomy verbs, so they're measurable rather than 'students will understand photosynthesis'. If you need more control over the cognitive level, the Learning Objectives Writer handles objectives on their own.
Will it match my curriculum standards?
Not automatically — it doesn't know your jurisdiction's standards or your school's scheme of work. Generate the plan, then map it to your standards yourself. It's a structure and a set of activities, not a compliance document.
Is there an exit ticket?
Yes, the closure phase includes an exit ticket question, so you finish with something to check understanding against rather than 'any questions?'.
Can I use this for observed lessons?
Use it as a first draft and rewrite it. An observer is assessing your judgement about your class — which students need which support, what went wrong last lesson — and a generated plan has none of that. It saves you the blank page, not the thinking.
About Lesson Plan Generator
Planning a single lesson well takes a long time, and teachers plan several a day. The Lesson Plan Generator produces a complete plan in the five-phase structure most schools expect, with the minutes apportioned across the duration you specify so the plan fits the period rather than overrunning it.
Each phase comes filled in rather than labelled: an activity to activate prior knowledge, key concepts and teacher talking points for direct instruction, a supported activity for guided practice, a student task for independent work, and a summary plus exit ticket for closure. The materials list is generated with it.
Objectives are written as three or four SMART statements using Bloom's verbs. That matters because 'students will understand X' cannot be assessed, and objectives that cannot be assessed make the rest of the plan hard to evaluate — including for you, at the end of the lesson.
What it cannot do is know your class or your standards. It doesn't know which three students need the scaffolded version, what you covered last week, or how your jurisdiction words its curriculum. Treat it as a strong first draft that removes the blank page, then apply the judgement that's actually yours.
