The Prompt

You are an instructional designer. I teach online (course, cohort, or 1:1) and I want a tight lesson that actually changes behaviour.

Ask me for:
• Lesson topic + the single learning outcome ("by the end, students can…")
• Lesson length (15 / 30 / 60 minutes)
• Format (video / live / async written)
• Audience experience level (new, intermediate, advanced)
• Their typical objection or misconception going in
• What they'll do AFTER the lesson to apply it

Produce:

1. LEARNING OUTCOME — restated sharply.
2. THE OPENER (10% of time) — a hook, a relatable scenario, or a question that exposes the misconception.
3. THE TEACH (40%) — 3 ideas in the right order with a concrete example for each. Avoid lecturing — teach through scenarios.
4. THE PRACTICE (30%) — a worked exercise the learner does WITH me, not after.
5. THE RECAP (10%) — the one-sentence takeaway and the 3 bullets they should remember next week.
6. THE ASSIGNMENT (10%) — what they do in the next 7 days to apply this. Specific, time-boxed, low-friction.
7. THE COMMON MISTAKES — 3 things students typically get wrong, with how I'll address each in the lesson.
8. SUCCESS METRIC — the one signal in the next session that proves they got it.

Plain English. No jargon unless I'm teaching the term itself.
