Make My Lesson

Make My Lesson creates curriculum-aligned teaching packs that can bring lesson plans, presentations, classroom activities and assessments together. Lesson plans can include standards-aligned objectives, timings, differentiation and Bloom’s balance. From the objectives, its presentation stage produces a slide deck calibrated to the lesson duration, with speaker notes. Activities include a student sheet and teacher answer key; assessments include a paper and mark scheme. The service lists 69 curriculum routes spanning Australia, the UK, Canada, International Baccalaureate and US/AP, alongside 16 teaching methods. Teachers can export PDF and PowerPoint files, download ZIPs, print materials, or share to Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams. Apps are listed for Android and iOS. The Free plan provides five generations and requires no card; the lesson-plan page says each plan uses one credit. Listed paid plans include Monthly at $9.99/mo, 3 Months at $27.00 once, 6 Months at $50.00 once and Annual at $90.00 per year. The privacy policy says lesson inputs go to US-based AI model providers and advises teachers not to enter identifying student information.

Make My Lesson brings several teaching materials into a curriculum-aligned pack, with a free allowance and multiple export and sharing options. Review the credit expiry and student-information guidance before using it.

It suits teachers who want to prepare lesson plans, slides, activities and assessments aligned to listed curricula. Sharing and export options may help teachers distribute materials through classroom platforms or files.

Overview

Make My Lesson is a teaching-resource generator for educators who want to prepare curriculum-aligned materials around a lesson. It suits teachers assembling several resources for one class; those who need only a quick outline may not need its broader pack-building approach.

Its appeal is the connection between lesson planning, presentations, activities, and assessments. The main trade-off is a generation-based allowance, with paid credits that expire at the end of the plan period.

Key features

Plans and classroom packs

A lesson plan can include standards-aligned objectives, timings, differentiation, and a balance of Bloom’s levels. That combination is useful for teachers who want pacing and learner needs considered alongside curriculum goals, rather than a bare outline.

Make My Lesson can build a duration-calibrated slide deck with speaker notes from the plan’s objectives. It also generates classroom activities with a student sheet and teacher answer key, plus an assessment paper and mark scheme. Tying those materials to the lesson plan makes it a stronger fit for preparing a cohesive set of resources than for someone seeking just one worksheet or presentation.

Curriculum, exports, and privacy

The service lists 69 curriculum routes across Australia, the UK, Canada, the International Baccalaureate, and the US/AP, alongside 16 teaching methods. That breadth may help teachers whose curriculum and preferred approach are represented; the route count alone does not establish suitability for every classroom.

PDF and PowerPoint exports, ZIP downloads, printing, and sharing to Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams give teachers several ways to distribute or retain materials. The service is offered on Android, iOS, and the web, with mobile apps linked through the app stores.

Lesson inputs are sent to US-based AI model providers, which are instructed not to train on inputs or outputs. The privacy policy says passwords are encrypted, data is encrypted in transit, and staff access is role-limited. The platform does not create student accounts and asks teachers not to include identifying student information in lesson inputs. That guidance matters when preparing materials about individual learners. Support replies from real people usually arrive within one business day.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever Free, and includes five generations; lesson plans use one credit per plan, and no card is required. It is a sensible way to assess the workflow, but the small allowance limits recurring use.

Paid plans provide larger generation pools, but unused credits expire when the plan period ends:

The Monthly plan shows $$15.99 before discount; the 3 Months, 6 Months, and Annual plans show $$47.97, $$95.94, and $$191.88 before discount, respectively. The lower-cost multi-month and annual options suit teachers able to use a larger pool within its term; the monthly option avoids a longer commitment but still requires tracking expiry. Schools and departments receive custom pricing by quote, with teaching teams, individual accounts, and separate credits for each teacher.

Platforms

Make My Lesson supports Android, iOS, and web, so teachers can use the service across mobile and browser environments. Exports and classroom integrations also give its generated materials routes beyond the app itself.

Who it's for

Make My Lesson is best for teachers who want a connected set of curriculum-aligned materials and can make practical use of the generation allowance before credits expire. It is less compelling for occasional users whose needs fit within a handful of plans, or teachers who should not enter sensitive student details into lesson inputs.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Plans, slides, activities, and assessments can form a connected teaching pack, reducing the need to assemble each resource separately.
• Pro: Coverage across 69 curriculum routes and 16 teaching methods offers meaningful choice for teachers whose frameworks are included.
• Pro: PDF, PowerPoint, ZIP, print, Google Classroom, and Teams options support different preparation and distribution workflows.
• Con: Five free generations are a narrow allowance for teachers preparing materials regularly.
• Con: Paid credits expire at the end of each plan period, so unused capacity is lost.
• Con: Teachers are asked not to include identifying student information in inputs, limiting use for individualized materials that rely on such details.

Verdict

Choose Make My Lesson if you want curriculum-aware plans and the classroom materials that follow from them, with multiple ways to export and share the finished pack.
