Here is where to start, what to review and what you can make next.
Choose the assessments
In the Planning Wizard, choose suitable assessments from the term. A unit can support more than one task. Keep each task and its date visible.
See assessment scheduling →Plan the weeks
Choose the unit length and teaching weeks. Add classroom details such as lesson time, equipment and internet access.
See a weekly unit example →Add the lessons
Build lessons for the unit weeks. Each lesson adds activities, examples and practice to the learning you planned.

The Planning Wizard keeps the unit linked to its assessments, guides and curriculum map. In Lite, each resource stays in Your Documents and its conversation. It does not automatically join a Planning Wizard plan. Check the price before creating another paid resource.

How the pieces connect
- Choose the learning. The selected curriculum gives the assessment its focus.
- Review the task and guide. The task asks students to explain change using historical evidence. The marking guide shows what their work needs to demonstrate.
- Plan the weeks. The unit builds knowledge and gives students practice before the task in Week 4.
- Add the lessons. Each lesson turns part of the unit into teaching, practice and a short check.
The unit uses First World War practice before the final World War II task. The marking guide is inside both assessment copies. The teacher copy also has model responses and 4Cs notes. Keep teacher answers separate when sharing with students.
These are original, unedited TeaCheese files. Read the review notes, add your own detail to the shorter lesson descriptions and prepare the historical sources before teaching.

Why TeaCheese?
What does TeaCheese add to a ChatGPT draft?
ChatGPT can help you draft teaching ideas. TeaCheese puts the curriculum choices, resource settings, teacher review and downloads in one place. Here is what that looks like for this tool.
Your plan stays connected
The Planning Wizard keeps curriculum maps, guides, assessments, units and lessons together.
Your classroom details matter
Add the time, equipment and access limits that shape how you teach.
See gaps in your plan
Check which standards your assessments name and which still need a task. This does not show what students have mastered.
Both need a teacher check. What ChatGPT can do depends on the tools and setup you use. See OpenAI’s education examples.
Practical details
Make it work for your class.
Plan the journey
Start with the curriculum map and assessment. Add learning goals, class details and a plan for each week.
Build lessons within the unit
Build lessons for each part of the unit. Check that students have time to learn and practise before the assessment.
See what remains
Coverage shows which standards your planned assessments name and which still need a task. It shows your plan, not what students have learned. Lite resources do not automatically count in this view.
