Weekly Lesson Note Generator
Once your Project is set up, ask for one by mentioning a Week number. That's the cue the Master Instructions use to know you want a Lesson Note, not an exam.
Step 1 of 3
Make sure your Project is set up
If you've already completed the one-time Project setup (Master Instructions pasted in, Scheme of Work and reference files uploaded), skip straight to Step 2.
Not set up yet? Head to Set up your Project first, it only takes about 15 minutes and covers this tool and the Exam & Revision Generator together.
Ask for a lesson note
State the Subject, Class, and Week number. Term is optional, Claude works it out by checking which term's section of the Scheme of Work contains that week.
- "Generate Week 3, Physics, SS2"
- "Generate Week 5, 2nd Term, Chemistry, SS1"
- "Generate Week 1, Third Term, Basic Science, JSS1"
Claude confirms the Subject, Class, Term, Week, dates, and any mid-term break, scheme/e-note mismatch, or English strand merge, before producing the document.
What you'll get back
A file named [Class]_[Subject]_[Term]Term_Week[n]_LessonNote.docx, with every period containing:
3 to 5 clear, measurable objectives, as a list.
Prior knowledge, linked to your students' environment.
Both as bulleted lists, with page ranges for references.
Minimum 4 steps. Each has a Teacher's To-Do plus a Students' Note that reads like a real notebook page, formulas and calculations properly formatted.
Both as numbered lists, never one blended paragraph.
Times New Roman, A4, narrow margins, no page breaks between periods.
The topic always comes from your Scheme of Work. Content for it is then sourced from an uploaded textbook first, then an uploaded e-note, then Claude's own online research to fill any gap.

Where the topic and content come from
The Scheme of Work is authoritative for what topic is taught in a given week, for every subject and class. An uploaded e-note or textbook is a preferred source for the content of that topic, never the source of the topic itself. If a Subject has no entry anywhere in the scheme (e.g. Yoruba, Arabic), Claude falls back to an uploaded e-note or online research for that subject only.
Non-teaching weeks
If the requested week's Scheme of Work entry is a non-teaching label (Midterm Examination, Midterm Break, Revision & Exams, Closing, or similar), Claude stops and asks how you'd like to proceed, e.g. a consolidation note instead, or a different week, rather than generating something automatically.
Enrichment vs. mismatch
An uploaded e-note covers a closely related extra sub-topic. Folded in as an extra Presentation Step, no flag needed.
An uploaded e-note covers an unrelated topic. Claude still teaches the scheme's topic and says so in its reply.
English Studies / English Language weeks
These list several parallel strands per week (Speech Work, Grammar, Reading & Comprehension, and so on) instead of one topic. Each strand maps to one period. English always gets 4 periods, if a week lists more than 4 strands, the two most closely related are merged into one period, and the preamble notes which ones.
How the dates are computed
- Claude fetches your state's official school calendar and finds the term's resumption date (Monday of Week 1).
- Week n Monday = Resumption Monday + (n − 1) × 7 days; Week n Friday = that Monday + 4 days.
- A Thursday to Friday mid-term break shortens the week to Monday to Wednesday, noted explicitly.
- A break covering the whole week re-maps to the next teaching week.
- A public holiday inside the week is noted, remaining days still get notes.
- The academic session (e.g. 2025/2026) is read from the fetched calendar, not guessed.
Periods per week
| Subject | Periods |
|---|---|
| Mathematics | 4 |
| English Language | 4 |
| All other subjects | 3 |
Content sourcing, by type
| Content type | Priority order |
|---|---|
| Definitions, examples | Textbook → e-note → online / standard textbooks |
| Diagrams, graphs, charts, maps | Generated directly when rule-based and verifiable, otherwise fetched and verified from a credible online source (maps always fetched, never hand-drawn), then embedded as a real image in the document |
| Formulas | Exactly as shown in textbook or e-note, else sourced online, never altered |
| Exercises | Adapted from textbook or e-note first, else sourced or built from research |
If neither a textbook nor an e-note was uploaded for that Subject + Class + Term at all, every content type is built entirely from credible online research.
Diagrams, graphs, charts & maps
Where a lesson genuinely needs a visual, it is embedded directly in the document rather than left for you to add:
- Generated directly: mathematical graphs, statistical charts, geometric constructions, number lines, simple circuit/apparatus schematics, anything rule-based enough to verify.
- Fetched and verified online: labelled biological/anatomical diagrams, apparatus photos, life cycles, historical images, anything representational rather than rule-based.
- Maps are always fetched from a credible source, never hand-drawn, so borders, place names, and locations stay accurate.
- A bolded, bracketed placeholder is only used as a last resort, when your Project doesn't have web search or code execution turned on, or a genuinely suitable image can't be found.
Word formatting
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Font | Times New Roman, 12pt body |
| Paper | A4, narrow margins (0.5") |
| Spacing | Single, 6pt after each paragraph |
| Page breaks | None between periods, a thin rule line instead |
Quality control rules
- Clear, formal British English (UK), except Yoruba (pure Yoruba, full tonal marks) and Arabic (full Arabic script).
- Every step has both a Teacher's To-Do and a notebook-style Students' Note, never merged.
- Instructional Materials, Reference Materials, Evaluation, and Assignment are always real lists.
- Formulas and calculations always use proper mathematical formatting.
- Dates are always computed fresh from the fetched state calendar, never hardcoded.
- No content repeats across periods within the same week.
- Only the Scheme of Work entry (plus any e-note/textbook) for the exact Subject + Class + Term containing the requested week is used.
- A non-teaching week stops for your input rather than generating automatically.
Quick reference
- Missing details? Claude asks instead of guessing.
- Yoruba / Arabic subject? Generated entirely in that language's full script.
- Not happy with a result? Just reply in the same chat, e.g. "make Step 3 shorter."
