Lesson slides prompt for teachers
Change the topic, year group and lesson length. The notes field becomes your teacher notes: what to say, what to ask.
Step by step: get better answers from your AI
- Give it facts. The more you put in the topic box (audience, numbers, the point you want to make), the less you have to fix. Ask for the length you actually have time for.
- Ask for changes in plain words. Keep the chat open: “make slide 4 shorter”, “add a slide on pricing”, “simpler words”. Ask it to send the whole JSON again, then paste it in.
- Cut off or messy? Paste it anyway. Presenter Cue repairs common mistakes (smart quotes, trailing commas, a cut-off end) and reads plain outlines too, so you rarely need to ask again.
The prompt
Create a lesson or lecture about: [topic] for [year group or age], a [length]-minute lesson. Include learning objectives, the key ideas one per slide, a worked example, a quick check with 3 questions and a recap Details: - Audience: [year group] students - Number of slides: 9 - Tone: simple and clear […then the reply format and rules the studio reads. The button copies them too.]
What the format and rules part says, and why: the full prompt, explained.
Make it yours
- Add your exam board or curriculum in the topic line.
- Ask for “one misconception to address” and you’ll get a slide for it.
- For younger classes, ask for “very short sentences and everyday examples”.
Always read the slides before class: assistants can be confidently wrong.
Filling in the topic line
The prompt’s first line carries the lesson design. Include the subject and topic, the year group or age, the lesson length, and what students should be able to do at the end. For example: “Photosynthesis for Year 9, a 50-minute lesson. By the end, students can name the inputs and outputs, write the word equation and explain why plants need light. Include a worked example and a quick check with 3 questions.”
Prompts for different lessons
- Introducing a new topic: ask for a hook question on the first slide and a “what you already know” slide.
- Revision lesson: ask for one slide per key idea with a practice question each, and the answers in the notes.
- Practical or lab lesson: ask for a process slide with the method, a safety slide and a results table slide.
- Discussion lesson: ask for a quote slide and three discussion questions, with prompts for the teacher in the notes.
Supporting every learner
Add to the topic: “Use short sentences and define every key word the first time it appears.” For English learners, set the language field and ask for key words in both languages. Always review the result against your curriculum before teaching; assistants can be confidently wrong.
Reusing lessons

Questions
Can I print the slides as handouts?
With Pro, download a PDF and print it. Speaker notes can be downloaded free as a text file.
Can the prompt make a whole unit?
Ask for one lesson at a time. A deck per lesson keeps each one focused, and you can reuse the same settings for the next lesson.
Does it work for primary and university levels?
Yes. Set the year group or level in the audience, and the tone to Simple and clear for younger students or Academic for university.
Can I get questions with answers?
Yes. Ask for a quick check slide with three questions and “the answers in the speaker notes”, so the answers aren’t on screen.
