"Lesson Planning in Minutes: Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting"

Teachers are master planners, but let’s be honest—planning high-quality, engaging lessons takes a lot of time. What if AI could help you get that time back while keeping your instruction sharp?

How AI Can Help

AI lesson planning tools like MagicSchool.ai and Curipod are revolutionizing how educators create instructional content. With just a topic or standard, these tools can:

  • Generate complete lesson plans

  • Create interactive slides

  • Suggest formative assessments

  • Offer differentiated scaffolds and extension activities

You still remain the creative force. AI simply gives you a boost.

Sample Workflow

  1. Input a topic or state standard into MagicSchool.

  2. Review and tweak the suggested objectives and activities.

  3. Import content into Curipod for a student-facing, interactive lesson.

  4. Add questions or polls to check for understanding.

Real Example

Imagine you're planning a unit on persuasive writing. You could ask ChatGPT to:

"Create a 5-day persuasive writing lesson plan for 8th grade aligned to Common Core."

Then, use MagicSchool to generate daily objectives and prompts, and import to Google Docs or Slides. Done.
