From your text to a resource for the board.

Add a Word or PDF file, or paste the text. It can be a text that the class studies: a poem, a group of poems, a play, a novel or a source. It can also be a model answer: an exam question with its answer, in maths, science or any subject.

The product finds the title, the author and the sections, for example the acts of a play or the chapters of a novel. For a text that has no headings, the product finds where its parts start, so that you can jump to a part. It adds no heading and no summary: the text on the board is the words of the writer and nothing more. A photo or a scan of a printed page is read for you. A picture that the class studies, for example a diagram, a graph or a map, becomes a resource with the annotations on its parts.

Add what you mark with: the mark scheme of your exam board, a rubric from your department or the assessment objectives. Add files, paste text, or do the two. The maximum is five for one resource.

The product reads the mark scheme together with your text and finds the criteria that apply: the assessment objectives, the types of mark or the marking points. You do not select them.

Each mark scheme that you use stays in your library. For the next text, you select it from a list and do not add the file again.

A full novel is not a lesson. Say what the lesson is for. The product suggests aims from your text and your mark scheme: themes, questions of the type of the assessment, and assessment objectives. Select one, or write your own. You get a lesson: the extracts of the text for that aim, with their annotations. Each extract is the words of the text, exactly.

The full text is always read and saved too. It keeps all its annotations, so you make a new lesson from it for each aim that you teach, in less than a minute and for a small number of credits. For a poem or one model answer, select the full text only.

The page for the class opens only with a password. You set it now, and you can change it at any time. Students do not make accounts.

The product reads your text and the mark scheme together and plans the lesson: what the class must notice, and why. Then it marks the lines that matter. For each one it writes a note, writes a question for the class and quotes the words of your mark scheme that the line helps a student to meet.

AI does this work. Each quotation is checked against your text, and an annotation whose quotation is not in the text is removed. A poem takes about two minutes. A long text takes longer. You go back to your workspace while it is made, and you can close the page.

The draft is private. Read it as you would read the notes of a new colleague. Change a note. Write a better question. Delete an annotation that you do not want. Select any words of the text to add an annotation of your own.

The draft also has notes for the lesson: a short overview and questions for the full text. You can change these too, and the title, the subject and the tags.

Publish the resource and show it on the board. Go to a marked line to open its note and its question. Open the mark scheme at the words that the line meets. Make the text larger for the back of the room, and use the dark page in a room that is not bright.

Present it one annotation at a time on the full screen: first the question for the class, then the note. Or show only the questions, and open the note of a question when the class has answered.

Print it or save it as a PDF: a copy for you with the notes, or a handout for students with the questions and space for answers. To let students read it after the lesson, give them the link and the password.

Put the resource in a folder: a class, a unit or a term. Each resource has tags for its level and its topic, and the search finds it by its title, its subject or a tag.

Your texts and your mark schemes are in your library. Make a lesson from a text, or use a text again with a different mark scheme.

Share a resource with a colleague with a link. Your colleague signs in, sees the resource, can write notes on it while you teach, and can take a copy for their own classes.

Change the resource when you find a better question. Unpublish it when the unit ends. Set a new password for a new class.
