📚 Warm-up Story · Mr. Olu's Lesson Plan

Mr. Olu is a secondary school teacher in Ibadan. He wanted to use Claude to write a lesson plan on photosynthesis. He typed: "Claude, write lesson plan." Claude gave him a very short, general lesson plan. It wasn't helpful.

Mr. Olu tried again. He thought carefully and typed: "Claude, write a 45-minute lesson plan on photosynthesis for Senior Secondary 1 students. Include an experiment, a group discussion, and a homework assignment." This time, Claude gave him a perfect lesson plan!

Mr. Olu learned that the more details he gave, the better the answer. He became a prompt-writing expert and saved hours of work.

🧩 Main Lessons

Lesson 1 · What is a Prompt?

Definition: A prompt is the instruction or question you type to Claude. It tells Claude what you want.

Why important: The quality of your prompt determines the quality of Claude's answer.

Simple explanation: A prompt is like ordering food at a restaurant. If you say "food", you might get anything. If you say "I want a plate of jollof rice with chicken", you get exactly what you want.

Real-life example: "Claude, write a welcome message for my new students."

School example: "Claude, give me 5 icebreaker activities for the first day of school."

Home example: "Claude, give me a list of chores for my children."

Nigerian example: "Claude, write a lesson plan for teaching the history of the Benin Kingdom."

Illustration:

    You  →  Prompt  →  Claude  →  Answer
    (order)   (kitchen)   (food)
            

Mini summary: A prompt is your instruction to Claude. Make it clear and detailed.

Lesson 2 · The 5 Ingredients of a Great Prompt

Definition: A great prompt has 5 parts: Role, Task, Audience, Context, and Format.

Why important: Using all 5 parts gives you a complete and useful answer.

Simple explanation: Think of it like baking a cake. You need flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and baking powder. Each part is important.

Real-life example: "As a teacher (role), write a lesson plan (task) for Grade 4 students (audience) on fractions (context) with a worksheet (format)."

School example: "As a science teacher (role), create a quiz (task) for Primary 5 (audience) on the water cycle (context) with 5 multiple-choice questions (format)."

Home example: "As a parent (role), write a schedule (task) for my 8-year-old (audience) for after-school activities (context) in a checklist (format)."

Nigerian example: "As a history teacher (role), write a worksheet (task) for JSS 2 students (audience) on Nigerian independence (context) with fill-in-the-blanks (format)."

Illustration:

    5 Ingredients:
    🧑‍🏫 Role      = Who you are (teacher, parent)
    📝 Task       = What you want (lesson plan, email)
    👩‍🎓 Audience  = Who is it for (students, parents)
    📚 Context    = What topic or situation
    📄 Format     = How you want it (list, paragraph, table)
            

Mini summary: Use Role, Task, Audience, Context, and Format to build a great prompt.

Lesson 3 · Role: Who Are You?

Definition: Role tells Claude who you are. It gives Claude a perspective.

Why important: Claude will adjust its language and tone based on your role.

Simple explanation: If you say "as a teacher", Claude will give you a professional answer. If you say "as a student", Claude will explain things differently.

Real-life example: "As a primary school teacher, write a note to parents."

School example: "As a class teacher, create a weekly schedule."

Home example: "As a father, give me advice on helping my child with reading."

Nigerian example: "As a head teacher in Lagos, write a speech for the school assembly."

Illustration:

    Role:  Teacher  →  Claude gives professional language
    Role:  Student  →  Claude gives simple explanations
    Role:  Parent   →  Claude gives practical family tips
            

Mini summary: Tell Claude your role so it can give you the right style of answer.

Lesson 4 · Task: What Do You Want?

Definition: Task is the action you want Claude to do. It's the main verb of your prompt.

Why important: Without a clear task, Claude doesn't know what to do.

Simple explanation: Task is like saying "write", "create", "explain", "list", or "summarise".

Real-life example: "Write a lesson plan." (Task = write)

School example: "Create a quiz." (Task = create)

Home example: "List 3 recipes." (Task = list)

Nigerian example: "Summarise the history of Nigeria." (Task = summarise)

Illustration:

    Common Tasks:
    ✍️ Write
    📝 Create
    📖 Explain
    📋 List
    📊 Compare
    🔍 Find
            

Mini summary: Use a clear action verb to tell Claude what to do.

Lesson 5 · Audience: Who Is It For?

Definition: Audience is the person or group who will receive Claude's answer.

Why important: Claude will adjust the language and detail level for your audience.

Simple explanation: You speak differently to a 5-year-old than to an adult. Claude does the same.

Real-life example: "For Grade 2 students" → simple words and pictures.

School example: "For Secondary 3 students" → more advanced language.

Home example: "For my 6-year-old" → fun and simple.

Nigerian example: "For JSS 1 students in Nigeria" → include local examples.

Illustration:

    Audience:  Grade 2  →  "The sun is a big ball of fire." ☀️
    Audience:  University →  "The sun is a G-type main-sequence star." 🌟
            

Mini summary: Tell Claude who the answer is for so it can use the right level.

Lesson 6 · Context: What is the Situation?

Definition: Context is the background information. It tells Claude what topic or situation you are talking about.

Why important: Context helps Claude give relevant and accurate answers.

Simple explanation: If you say "write a lesson plan", Claude doesn't know the subject. If you say "write a lesson plan on addition", now Claude knows.

Real-life example: "On the topic of fractions."

School example: "About the water cycle."

Home example: "For a family vacation."

Nigerian example: "About Nigerian cultures and traditions."

Illustration:

    No Context:  "Write a lesson plan."  →  Vague
    With Context:"Write a lesson plan on multiplication for Grade 3."  →  Specific
            

Mini summary: Give Claude the topic or situation so it can give you a focused answer.

Lesson 7 · Format: How Do You Want It?

Definition: Format is the structure or style of the answer. It's how you want the information presented.

Why important: A good format makes the answer easy to read and use.

Simple explanation: Do you want a list, a paragraph, a table, or a bullet-point outline?

Real-life example: "In a bullet-point list."

School example: "As a table with 3 columns."

Home example: "In a simple checklist."

Nigerian example: "In a step-by-step guide."

Illustration:

    List:    1. Item one, 2. Item two
    Table:   | Column 1 | Column 2 |
    Paragraph: A full sentence answer.
    Checklist: ☐ Task one, ☐ Task two
            

Mini summary: Tell Claude how you want the answer formatted.

Lesson 8 · Putting It All Together

Definition: Now you combine all 5 ingredients into one complete prompt.

Why important: A complete prompt gives the best possible answer.

Simple explanation: Like making a sandwich with all your favourite fillings.

Real-life example: "As a teacher, write a lesson plan on fractions for Grade 4 students. Include 2 activities and a homework task. Present it as a table."

School example: "As a science teacher, create a quiz on the water cycle for Primary 5. Use 5 multiple-choice questions. Put it in a numbered list."

Home example: "As a parent, give me 5 tips for helping my child with homework. Use a bullet-point list."

Nigerian example: "As a history teacher in Nigeria, write a lesson plan on the Nigerian Civil War for JSS 3. Include a group activity and homework. Format it as a step-by-step guide."

Illustration:

    Complete Prompt Recipe:
    Role + Task + Audience + Context + Format
    = Perfect Answer! 🎯
            

Mini summary: Combine all 5 ingredients for a perfect prompt.

Lesson 9 · Fixing a Bad Prompt

Definition: Sometimes your prompt doesn't give a good answer. You can fix it by adding details or rephrasing.

Why important: This saves you from frustration and gets you the answer you need.

Simple explanation: If Claude doesn't understand, you explain again more clearly.

Real-life example: Bad: "Claude, help." Good: "Claude, give me 3 classroom management tips for noisy students."

School example: Bad: "Make a test." Good: "Make a 10-question math test on addition for Grade 2."

Home example: Bad: "Recipe." Good: "Give me a chicken recipe for 4 people."

Nigerian example: Bad: "Tell me about Nigeria." Good: "Tell me 3 interesting facts about Nigeria's independence."

Illustration:

    Bad Prompt  →  Confusing Answer  →  Fix It  →  Good Prompt  →  Perfect Answer!
            

Mini summary: If you get a bad answer, add more details to your prompt.

Lesson 10 · Using Follow-up Questions

Definition: You can ask Claude to improve or add to its answer with a follow-up question.

Why important: This helps you get exactly what you want without starting over.

Simple explanation: Like saying "Can you add more details?" or "Can you make it simpler?"

Real-life example: "That lesson plan is good. Can you add more activities?"

School example: "Can you make the quiz easier for my students?"

Home example: "Can you give me a vegetarian version?"

Nigerian example: "Can you add more Nigerian examples?"

Illustration:

    You:  "Write a lesson plan on fractions."
    Claude: (gives plan)
    You:  "Can you add 2 more activities?"
    Claude: (adds activities)  ✅
            

Mini summary: Use follow-up questions to improve Claude's answers.

Lesson 11 · Prompt Templates

Definition: A prompt template is a ready-made structure you can fill in with your own details.

Why important: Templates save time and ensure you include all the important parts.

Simple explanation: It's like a mad lib where you add your own words.

Real-life example: "As a (role), write a (task) for (audience) on (context). Format it as (format)."

School example: "As a teacher, create a worksheet for (grade) on (topic) with (number) questions."

Home example: "As a parent, give me (number) tips for (situation)."

Nigerian example: "As a Nigerian teacher, write a lesson plan on (topic) for (class). Include local examples."

Illustration:

    Template:
    "As a [role], [task] for [audience] on [context]. Format it as [format]."

    Example:
    "As a primary teacher, write a lesson plan for Grade 3 on telling the time. Format it as a table."
            

Mini summary: Use templates to quickly write effective prompts.

Lesson 12 · Asking Claude to Explain

Definition: You can ask Claude to explain things in simple words, especially if you are a beginner.

Why important: It helps you learn new concepts easily.

Simple explanation: Say "explain like I'm 10 years old" or "in simple words".

Real-life example: "Explain AI in simple words."

School example: "Explain the water cycle for a 7-year-old."

Home example: "Explain how a car engine works in simple terms."

Nigerian example: "Explain the Nigerian electoral system using simple words."

Illustration:

    Complex:  "The photovoltaic effect converts solar radiation."
    Simple:   "Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity." ☀️🔌
            

Mini summary: Ask Claude to explain in simple words if you need help understanding.

Lesson 13 · Asking Claude to Teach You

Definition: You can ask Claude to act like a teacher and guide you step by step.

Why important: This is great for learning new teaching strategies or subjects.

Simple explanation: Say "Teach me how to..." and Claude will give you a lesson.

Real-life example: "Teach me how to use differentiated instruction in the classroom."

School example: "Teach me how to help students with dyslexia."

Home example: "Teach me how to plan a balanced meal."

Nigerian example: "Teach me how to incorporate Nigerian proverbs into my lessons."

Illustration:

    You:  "Teach me how to write a lesson plan."
    Claude: "Step 1: Define the objective. Step 2: Plan activities..."
            

Mini summary: Ask Claude to teach you when you want to learn something new.

Lesson 14 · Asking Claude for Examples

Definition: You can ask Claude to give you lots of examples to help you understand.

Why important: Examples make ideas concrete and easy to apply.

Simple explanation: Say "Give me 5 examples of..."

Real-life example: "Give me 5 examples of warm-up activities."

School example: "Give me 3 examples of projects for a science fair."

Home example: "Give me 4 examples of family games."

Nigerian example: "Give me 5 examples of Nigerian dishes I can teach in Home Economics."

Illustration:

    You:  "Give me examples of icebreakers."
    Claude: "1. Two truths and a lie. 2. Find someone who..."
            

Mini summary: Ask Claude for examples to get practical ideas.

Lesson 15 · Practice, Practice, Practice!

Definition: The only way to get better at prompts is to practice writing them.

Why important: Practice builds confidence and skill.

Simple explanation: Just like learning to ride a bike, you get better with practice.

Real-life example: Write one prompt every day for a week.

School example: Try a new prompt for each lesson you teach.

Home example: Use Claude to help with everyday tasks.

Nigerian example: Use Claude to help plan school events and lessons.

Illustration:

    Day 1:  Basic prompt
    Day 2:  Add more details
    Day 3:  Use all 5 ingredients
    Day 4:  Try a follow-up question
    Day 5:  You are a prompt expert! 🎉

🧩 Main Lessons

Lesson 1 · What is a Lesson Plan?

Definition: A lesson plan is a teacher's guide for what to teach and how to teach it. It includes objectives, activities, and assessment.

Why important: A good lesson plan keeps you organized and helps students learn better.

Simple explanation: A lesson plan is like a recipe for teaching. It tells you what ingredients to use and what steps to follow.

Real-life example: A chef uses a recipe to cook a meal. A teacher uses a lesson plan to teach a lesson.

School example: Your school may ask you to submit lesson plans every week.

Home example: You plan a family activity step by step.

Lesson 2 · Parts of a Good Lesson Plan

Definition: A good lesson plan usually has 4 parts: Objectives, Introduction, Activities, and Assessment.

Why important: These parts ensure your lesson is complete and effective.

Simple explanation: Think of it like building a house. You need a foundation (objectives), walls (activities), and a roof (assessment).

Real-life example: Objectives = what students will learn. Introduction = how you start. Activities = what students do. Assessment = how you check learning.

School example: A science lesson plan includes an experiment (activity) and a quiz (assessment).

Nigerian example: A lesson on Nigerian culture includes stories (intro), dance (activity), and a group discussion (assessment).

Illustration:

    4 Parts:
    1. Objectives  (What will students learn?)
    2. Introduction (How will you start?)
    3. Activities   (What will students do?)
    4. Assessment   (How will you check learning?)
            

Mini summary: A good lesson plan has objectives, introduction, activities, and assessment.

Lesson 3 · Writing Learning Objectives

📚 Warm-up Story · Mrs. Ngozi's Grading Challenge

Mrs. Ngozi is a secondary school teacher in Owerri. She had 40 students and a big project to grade. She used to spend hours grading, writing comments, and giving scores. It was exhausting and sometimes she felt her grading was not fair.

One day, she discovered Claude. She typed: "As a teacher, create a rubric for a science project on the water cycle for Grade 6. Include 4 criteria: content, creativity, presentation, and effort. Score from 1-4." In 30 seconds, Claude gave her a clear rubric. Mrs. Ngozi used it to grade her students quickly and fairly. She was so happy! Now she loves grading.

📖 Module Introduction

Hello, wonderful teacher! In Module Five, we learned about assessment and rubrics. Now we will learn about something very important: differentiation and inclusion. Every student is different. Some students learn quickly, some need more time. Some students need extra help, and some need more challenges. Differentiation means changing your teaching to meet the needs of all students. Inclusion means making sure every student feels welcome and can learn.

With Claude, you can easily adapt your lessons, worksheets, and assessments for all students. You can create materials for different reading levels, different learning styles, and different abilities. By the end of this module, you will be able to reach every student in your classroom.

🎯 Learning Objectives

• Understand what differentiation and inclusion mean.
• Learn to adapt lessons for different students.
• Create materials for different reading levels.
• Support students with special needs.
• Make your classroom welcoming for all.

📚 Warm-up Story · Mr. Emmanuel's Mixed Class

Mr. Emmanuel is a primary school teacher in Kaduna. He had a class of 30 students with very different abilities. Some were reading at Grade 5 level, others at Grade 2 level. Some students had learning difficulties. He was worried about how to teach everyone.

One day, he learned about differentiation. He used Claude to create three versions of his lesson: one for struggling students, one for average students, and one for advanced students. He typed: "Claude, simplify this lesson for students who are struggling," and "Claude, make this lesson more challenging for advanced students." Claude did it in seconds! Mr. Emmanuel's students all learned and felt successful.
