Engr. Imran Umar Lodhi
A working reference for classroom teachers. Every prompt is written to produce something you could take into a lesson after a short edit — not something you would need to rewrite from scratch.

AI assists. You decide.
Why this book exists
The work that eats the hours is rarely the teaching. It is the producing: the third version of a worksheet, the twenty comprehension questions, the rubric you have to write before you can mark anything.
This book gives you the starting point — a prompt that already knows what a good answer looks like.
The rule the whole book follows
This is not a book arguing that AI should replace teaching expertise. It argues the opposite. AI is good at producing drafts, volume and variations. It is unreliable about facts, weak on precise reasoning, and it knows nothing about your syllabus or your students.
So the prompts hand it the production and keep the decisions with you: judgment, context, curriculum, accuracy, student needs. Every chapter says the same thing — nothing reaches a student until a qualified educator has read it.
What’s inside
Organised by the job you are trying to do, so you can find the right prompt in under a minute.
Section 01 · Prompts 1–30
Complete single-lesson plans with objectives, timings and a prep list. Multi-week unit maps. Dense curriculum standards turned into teachable “I can” objectives. This is where most teachers feel the biggest time saving.
Section 02 · Prompts 31–55
Multiple choice where every distractor is based on a real misconception, short answers with model answers, bell-ringer banks, and versions of the same test — generated in bulk, checked by you.
Section 03 · Prompts 56–75
Analytic rubrics from scratch, comment banks organised by criterion, two-stars-and-a-wish feedback, whole-class feedback sheets. Marking is the part of the job that follows teachers home; the typing does not have to.
Section 04 · Prompts 76–105
Structures that have worked in classrooms for decades — think-pair-share, jigsaw, gallery walks — with AI supplying the content, the timing and the exact wording of your instructions rather than inventing gimmicks.
Section 05 · Prompts 106–125
Three tiers of one task against a single objective, reading-level rewrites that cut nothing, scaffolds and extensions. The area where AI changes the arithmetic most — and where the rule is: describe the need, never the student.
Section 06 · Prompts 126–135
Co-created norms, transition routines, and scripts for the conversations you dread — drafted and pressure-tested in advance rather than improvised in the moment.
Section 07 · Prompts 136–143
Newsletters, positive contact home, raising a concern, meeting notes. High-stakes writing where a draft saves fifteen minutes and a good rewrite saves a difficult meeting. You supply the notes; it shapes them.
Section 08 · Prompts 144–150
Staff meeting and PD outlines, the admin writing nobody enjoys, and the last seven prompts — the ones quietly aimed at making a prompt book unnecessary.

More than a prompt list
The five ingredients, the phrases that consistently improve output, and the phrases that waste your time. Made to photocopy and stick inside a cupboard door.
One habit a week instead of everything at once: which prompt to start with, what to add in week two, and where the time saving usually becomes obvious.
A troubleshooting table: what you got, why it happened, and the exact follow-up message that fixes it — without switching tools or starting again.
The AI vocabulary teachers actually meet in staff meetings, explained in plain language.
Where the guidance in the book comes from, so you can check it and take it to a colleague.
Every prompt by number and title, so the book works as a reference you raid rather than a book you read once.
How the prompts work
“Write me a lesson plan on fractions” is a generic request, so it gets a generic answer — the model fills the gaps with averages. Every prompt in this book is built on a structure that closes those gaps before you press enter.
Who should the AI be, and what is the situation? Your subject, the lesson length, the room, the resources you actually have.
Who is in front of you and what do they already bring? Grade, class size, prior knowledge, the range — described by need, never by name.
What do you want produced, and what will you do with it? A guided practice sheet is a different request from a formative check.
What form should the output take? A printable table, a set length, an answer key at the end. Twelve extra words buy you something you can print.
What must the result meet, and what must it avoid? Curriculum alignment, constraints, and the assumptions you do not want in front of your class.
Chapter 2 also shows you how to write your standing context block once, so two of the five ingredients are handled before you type a word.
Preview the book
Anything in [square brackets] is where your professional knowledge goes. The prompt is the container; you are the content.
“You are an experienced [subject] teacher who plans lessons for [grade level] students. Write a complete lesson plan for a [45/60/90]-minute lesson on [topic].”
…then eight numbered requirements, from measurable objectives to a timing column and a prep list. (abridged)
“Write 5 different exit tickets for a lesson on [topic] at [grade level]. Each should take a student under 3 minutes. Vary the format…”
…and it tells the model to explain what to look for when you sort them into piles. (abridged)
“Here is my task: ‘[paste it]’, for [grade level] on [topic]. Create three versions targeting the same learning objective…”
…with scaffolding, step size and vocabulary support specified for each tier. (abridged)
Every prompt comes with a note on when to reach for it — and, where it matters, a tip underneath.

About the author
Engineer · Educator · Trainer · Author
An electrical engineer, former university lecturer and professional trainer with more than fifteen years of experience in engineering, leadership, research and professional development. He taught engineering students at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan — Power System Protection, Power Transmission and Distribution, and High Voltage Engineering.
His interest in AI grew from one question: how can it save professionals time without replacing the knowledge, experience and judgment that make their work valuable? That question is the whole argument of this book.
Questions
A PDF of about 130 pages. It reads well on a phone, tablet or laptop, and prints cleanly if you prefer paper.
No. Nothing in the book depends on a paid subscription or a specialist education platform. The prompts are written to work on the free tiers of the major assistants.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whichever comparable assistant your school has approved. The prompts are written for the job, not for a particular tool.
No. Every prompt contains square-bracket fields for your subject, grade level, class context and constraints, so the same prompt adapts across subjects and ages.
No — and the book says so repeatedly. Output must be reviewed by a qualified educator before it reaches students: numbers worked through, sources verified, curriculum alignment checked against the actual specification.
