English Teacher AI Toolkit

25 AI Prompts for English Teachers — Work Smarter, Not Harder

English teaching is one of the most demanding subjects to plan for. Close reading lessons, comparative essay scaffolds, creative writing tasks, personalised feedback, speaking and listening activities, report comments — the list never ends. And every resource needs to feel rich, specific, and exam-ready.

This toolkit gives you 25 ready-to-use AI prompts designed specifically for secondary English teachers in Years 7–13, organised across four key teaching areas. Whether you're planning a Macbeth lesson for Year 10, building a poetry analysis workshop, or writing report comments at midnight, these prompts get you there in minutes.

Simply copy, paste, and customise — no technical experience required.

What's inside:

• Literature & Text Analysis — Generate detailed lesson plans for specific texts, character and theme deep-dives, comparative essay scaffolds, poetry analysis workshops, non-fiction close reading tasks, and literary theory introductions
