Step 4: Click Generate

With all your selections in place, click “Generate.” TeachShare’s AI engine instantly produces a complete, structured lesson plan—complete with objectives, standards alignment, duration of each activity, lesson structure, assessments, and additional resources.

Step 5: Refine with Chat

Once your lesson plan is generated, use TeachShare’s built-in chat assistant to fine-tune the content. Want to add a group activity? Modify the assessment format? Adjust it for English Language Learners? Simply type your request into the chat, and the AI will revise your lesson in real-time until it’s just right.

And just like that, within a couple minutes, you have a perfectly curated lesson plan at your fingertips!

Creating Lesson Plans with Other AI Chatbots

While TeachShare is the most streamlined and education-focused platform, you can also use general AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini to brainstorm ideas or draft lesson components. Here are some generalized prompts to try:

• Create a [grade level] [subject] lesson on [topic] aligned with [curriculum standards].

• Write a [duration]-minute interactive [subject] lesson for [grade level] students focusing on [topic or skill].

• Design a [subject] quiz for [grade level] students based on [topic or concept].

• Create a detailed [subject] lesson plan for [grade level] students on the topic of [topic]. The lesson should be [duration in minutes] long and include:

  • Learning objectives aligned with [curriculum standards]

  • A warm-up or hook activity

  • Direct instruction components

  • Guided practice with examples or activities

  • Independent practice or application task

  • Assessment or exit ticket

  • Differentiation strategies for [student needs]

  • Materials or resources needed

  
  

However, keep in mind that while these chatbots can generate content, they lack the curriculum-specific tools, standards integration, and educator-centric design that TeachShare offers.
