- Yes. It can suggest hooks, practical tasks, discussion prompts and creative routes into a topic for teacher review.

- Topic, year group, subject, learning aim and any constraints such as lesson length or available resources are useful.
- Can it produce several lesson options at once?
- Yes. Ask for multiple approaches, such as practical, discussion-based, creative or retrieval-led ideas, then choose one to develop.
- Can it help with lesson hooks?
