How to use the Substitute Teacher Plan Generator.
A substitute plan should be usable without hidden knowledge of the class. Include materials, timing, routines and a practical fallback.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Write instructions a substitute can use without unstated classroom knowledge, including materials, timing and expected learner work. Provide a practical fallback for unavailable equipment and identify the appropriate contact for unresolved issues.
- What you provide
- Schedule, class routines and available materials.
- What you get
- Clear cover-lesson instructions and contingency activities.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Prepare a 30-minute substitute plan using a printed passage already studied. Goal: support an interpretation with a text detail. Projector may be unavailable. Materials: printed passage and paper.
Completed example
0–5 min: distribute the printed passage and explain the goal: support an interpretation with a detail from the text. 5–10 min: learners reread and mark one important detail. 10–20 min: in pairs, explain what the detail suggests and why. 20–27 min: each learner writes an interpretation followed by its supporting detail. 27–30 min: collect responses and note questions for the regular teacher. Fallback: all activities use printed material; no projector is required. Class-specific routines and support contacts should accompany the plan.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should the substitute plan rely on the regular teacher's usual routine?
State the routines needed for this lesson explicitly. Familiarity for the regular class does not make them obvious to a substitute.
Why does an equipment failure leave no usable lesson?
Provide a paper or otherwise available alternative that preserves the core objective. Check that the fallback materials are actually accessible.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
