Free tools:ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Time:2 minutes
Difficulty:Beginner
What You'll Get
A structured lecture outline with learning objectives, key concepts, real-world examples, and a discussion activity, ready to use as a scaffold for building your slides.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Create a [duration]-minute lecture outline on [topic] for a [level] [subject] course. Include 3 learning objectives, 4 key concepts with examples, one 10-minute discussion activity, and a closing summary.
Tips
Use the AI outline as a skeleton, then fill in your own examples and expertise. The discussion activity is often the most useful part. If the learning objectives feel too formal, ask it to "rewrite as what students will actually be able to do after class."
