Description
You have the framework. Now you have the prompts that fill it in.
This is not a lesson plan template with empty boxes and a wish. This is a complete lesson planning system — every section pre-built, every AI prompt written for you, and every prompt designed to read your standard before it writes a single word.
[WHAT'S INCLUDED]
This 15-slide editable template (Google Slides + PowerPoint) walks through every section of a complete gradual release lesson plan — and pairs each section with a ready-to-use AI prompt that generates the content for you.
The lesson plan sections:
- Slide 3 — Lesson Snapshot: Standard, Learning Objective, Success Criteria, Subject, Grade, Date
- Slide 5 — Warm-Up / Bell Ringer
- Slide 7 — I Do (Direct Instruction)
- Slide 9 — We Do (Guided Practice)
- Slide 11 — You Do (Independent Practice)
- Slide 13 — Differentiation & Accommodations
- Slide 14 — Exit Ticket & Closure
The AI prompt slides — one after every section:
- Slide 4 — Generates your Learning Objective (SWBAT format, Bloom's verb) + 3 student-facing "I can" statements, both pulled directly from your standard
- Slide 6 — Generates 5 warm-up options with a connection statement and time estimate for each — written, discussion-based, and visual formats included
- Slide 8 — Generates your complete I Do script: think-aloud language step by step, one anchor question students hold during modeling, and 3 vocabulary words with student-friendly definitions
- Slide 10 — Generates the guided practice activity with participation structure, 3 check-in questions (verbal, whiteboard, and partner-based), and a measurable release signal
- Slide 12 — Generates the independent task plus all three differentiation tiers: below grade level with specific scaffolding, on grade level, and a higher-order extension
- Slide 15 — Bonus master prompt to build the full lesson in one go
Every prompt works the same way: paste your standard, add your subject and grade level, hit enter. The AI reads the standard first — then writes.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
Most AI lesson planning tools hand you a blank box and say "ask AI." That's not a system. That's a starting point with a learning curve attached.
As an instructional designer with 20 years in the classroom, I built every prompt in this deck the way I'd design any learning experience — with the structure built in before a single word gets generated. The prompts chain. Each one picks up where the last one left off. The We Do prompt asks for your I Do output. The You Do prompt asks for both. By the time you hit independent practice, AI already knows your standard, your objective, your modeling approach, and what students just practiced together.
That's not prompting. That's instructional design.
The result is a lesson plan where every section connects — because the AI was never guessing. It was reading.
WHO IT'S FOR
This template is for K–12 teachers who:
- Have heard "just use AI" one too many times with zero guidance on what to actually type
- Spend Sunday nights starting lesson plans from scratch and want to stop
- Know the gradual release model but don't want to re-build the structure every single week
- Need differentiation built in — not added on at the end when they're already exhausted
- Want a system that works on a Tuesday morning at 7am, not just when they have margin
Works for any subject, any grade level K–8, and any state standards — TEKS, Common Core, or otherwise.
TIME-SAVING
Run the prompts in order — Slide 4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12. Fill in the brackets on the lesson slides. The whole deck, filled in and ready to teach, takes under 20 minutes.
That's not an estimate. That's the system working.
FORMAT & COMPATIBILITY
- Editable Google Slides (link to make your own copy)
- Editable PowerPoint (.pptx) included
- 15 slides: 7 lesson plan sections + 6 AI prompt reference slides + cover + information sheet
- Works on any device
- Duplicate for every unit — build your library, stop starting from scratch
