5 steps
Give the teaching agent a clear role and file structure. Jesse uses a dedicated homeschool agent named Sylvie and an Obsidian family learning vault. Define where curriculum sources, lesson plans, learning logs, and printable materials belong.
Photograph the complete curriculum in page order with readable text and page numbers. Use even light, flatten the page, and retake anything blurred or hidden by glare. Keep the images grouped by book and chapter.
Send the images to the agent and ask it to build a structured source record before generating lessons. Preserve chapter boundaries and page references, and mark uncertain OCR for correction rather than inventing text.
Ingest these curriculum photos into `curriculum-sources/[book]`. Preserve the page order, headings, activities, and page references. Create a chapter index and flag any unreadable or uncertain text. Keep extracted source notes separate from generated lesson plans.
Generate one concise plan per chapter from the structured source. Include the learning objective, key concepts, vocabulary, preparation, materials, activity sequence, and source pages so the plan is ready to teach.
Using the structured source for [book], create a one page lesson plan for each chapter. Include objective, key concepts, vocabulary, preparation, materials, activity steps, source pages, and one sign that the learner understood the lesson. Save each plan as a separate Markdown file.
Turn a selected concept into a printable aid. Jesse photographed a list of animal survival concepts and asked for one watercolor illustration per concept on US Letter paper. State the print dimensions, visual style, age, and one concept per page.
Create one kid friendly watercolor illustration for each concept shown in the attached source page. Format every illustration as a separate print ready US Letter page with safe margins, a clear subject, and no decorative text unless it appears in the source. Save the files beside the related lesson plan.
The quality of the output is influenced by the agent's defined persona. A 'creative teacher' persona can lead to more artistic and engaging results.
Turn an idea into a PRD, user stories, and a plan.
