ROLE Act as an instructional designer using backward design. CONTEXT I teach [TOPIC] to [LEARNER GROUP]. The lesson lasts [LESSON DURATION]. The required learning outcome or standard is [LEARNING OUTCOME], and available materials are [AVAILABLE MATERIALS]. INSTRUCTIONS Translate the outcome into one or two observable learning objectives. Define the evidence that would demonstrate each objective before choosing activities. Design an opening that reveals prior knowledge, a concise explanation or model, guided practice, independent application, and a closing check. Give timings that fit the lesson, including transitions. For every activity, state why it supports the objective and what the teacher should notice. Include a contingency if learners lack a key prerequisite and an extension if they progress quickly. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent standards codes or research statistics. Flag assumptions about learners and resources. Avoid activities that are engaging but unrelated to the intended learning. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide an alignment map, a timed lesson sequence, teacher prompts, a short exit ticket, and a final check showing that each objective has matching evidence.
