For any subject and year group
AI lesson plans, written for the class you actually teach

Example
One request, and what comes back
You ask
Plan a 45-minute lesson on the water cycle for Grade 7, with objectives, a starter quiz and homework.
Lesson plan: the water cycle
Science · Grade 7 · 45 minutes
- Objectives
- Name the stages of the water cycle in order, and give an everyday example of evaporation and condensation.
- Starter · 5 min
- Two quick questions: where does the water in wet washing go? Where do the drops on a cold glass come from?
- Teach · 15 min
- A kettle and a cold plate on the front desk, so evaporation and condensation happen where everyone can see them.
- Group task · 15 min
- In fours, draw the cycle and label each stage with an example.
- Exit check · 10 min
- Three written questions, one of them on where rain begins its journey back up.
- Homework
- Find one example of condensation at home and explain it in two sentences.
Every row can be edited, and every version stays in your library.
Guide
What goes into a good lesson plan
Templates differ from school to school, but most lesson plans come down to these six parts. If you use AI to draft one, ask for them, and check them before the lesson.
Objectives you can observe
Write them with verbs you can see and check: name, explain, solve. “Know” and “understand” are not things you can watch happen in a lesson.
Prior knowledge and a starter
What pupils need from earlier lessons, and one or two quick questions at the start to find out whether they have it.
A hook
A question or a small demonstration that ties the lesson to something pupils already know. A few minutes is enough.
Activities, timed
Each activity with its length and how the class works: whole class, small groups, pairs or alone. The times should add up to the lesson.
Checks for understanding
Questions during the lesson and at the end that map straight back to the objectives. An objective with no question means too many objectives or too few checks.
Homework and differentiation
A short task for home, plus one suggestion for the pupil who is ahead and one for the pupil who needs more support.
In TeachPal
From request to printed page
Say what you are teaching
Type the subject, year group and length into the chat. If you have set up the class in TeachPal, attach it so the plan takes your notes about the class into account.
Edit the plan
The plan comes back as its own document, not a wall of text. Change a timing or rewrite an objective; each save makes a new version and keeps the old one.
Print it or take it to Word
From your library, print the plan, save it as a PDF or download a Word file to drop into your school’s template.
To start with
Requests to start from
Use them as they are or swap in your own subject and year group. The more specific the request, the closer the plan gets to your class.
- Plan a 45-minute maths lesson for Year 3 on column addition with regrouping, using my school’s headings: objectives, starter, main activity, plenary.
- Plan two 50-minute lessons on how plants make their food for Grade 5, with a group task in each.
- Make this plan easier for a class that struggles with reading, and add a picture-based activity.
- Write a lesson plan from the attached chapter and tell me which section each activity comes from.
- Lay out a term’s plan for Year 4 English, week by week, as a table.
Before you rely on it
Before you rely on it
- A plan is a draft. Read it before the lesson and check it against your curriculum and scheme of work.
- Term and year plans come back in the chat as text or a table. The editable, versioned document is for one lesson or a few lessons in a row.
- The AI does not know the exact text of your textbook. If the plan has to follow the book, upload those pages as a PDF or Word file.
Questions
What teachers ask about this
Is TeachPal’s lesson plan generator free?
You can start free. Every new account begins on the free plan, and signing up asks for no card. Paid plans raise the limits for teachers with a full timetable.
Can it use my school’s lesson plan template?
Yes. List the headings your school uses in the request, and the plan is written under them. You can rename or rewrite any part afterwards.
Can I export a lesson plan to Word or PDF?
Yes. Any saved plan can be printed, saved as a PDF or downloaded as a Word file.
How is this different from writing lesson plans in ChatGPT?
In a general chat you usually explain the year group, subject and class each time, and you get text to copy out and tidy up. In TeachPal you set up a class once and attach it, and the plan comes back as an editable document that keeps its versions in your library and exports to Word and PDF.
Does it write term or year plans?
In the chat, yes: it lays out a term or a year week by week or month by month, as text or a table. The editable, versioned document is for single lessons and short sequences.
Can it plan from my own textbook?
Yes. Upload the pages as a PDF or Word file and ask from them. TeachPal quotes the passage it used, so checking the plan takes seconds.
