• Technical constraints

2. Generate Video Scripts

```markdown

# Video Script: [TITLE]

Objective: [LO-X.X]

Duration: [Minutes:Seconds]

Level: [Educational level]

Format: [Lecture, demonstration, animated, etc.]

Visuals Needed: [B-roll, animations, diagrams, text overlays]

Audio: [Music, sound effects, voice-over style]

Pacing: [Slow/moderate/fast based on complexity]

Opening (0:00-0:30)

[VISUAL: Hook image or animation]

NARRATOR:

"Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in fall? Today, we're going to explore the amazing process of photosynthesis and discover why plants are green."

[TEXT OVERLAY: "Photosynthesis: How Plants Make Food"]

Segment 1: Introduction to Chloroplasts (0:30-2:00)

[VISUAL: Animated cell with chloroplast highlighted]

NARRATOR:

"Inside every plant cell are tiny structures called chloroplasts. Think of them as the plant's kitchen – this is where food is made. Let's zoom in and see what's happening inside."

[ANIMATION: Zoom into chloroplast structure]

NARRATOR:

"Chloroplasts contain a special green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment is the key to photosynthesis – and it's also why plants look green to us."

[PAUSE FOR PROCESSING - 2 seconds]

Segment 2: The Process (2:00-4:30)

[VISUAL: Diagram showing inputs/outputs]

NARRATOR:

"Photosynthesis is like a recipe. Let's look at the ingredients plants need..."

[Continue with clear, engaging narration]

Checks for Understanding (Throughout)

[At 2:30] "Pause and think: What do you think would happen if there was no sunlight?"

[At 4:00] "Let's review: Can you name the three things plants need for photosynthesis?"

Closing (5:30-6:00)

NARRATOR:

"Now you know how plants make their own food through photosynthesis. Next time you see a green plant, remember the amazing chemistry happening inside every leaf!"

[TEXT OVERLAY: Key vocabulary terms]

• Captions: Full transcript provided
• Audio Description: "Animation shows chloroplast structure with labeled parts"
• Visual Clarity: High contrast, clear diagrams
• Pacing: Slower for complex concepts, pause points

This video prepares students for [Assessment item or activity]

3. Create Presentation Outlines

```markdown

# Presentation: [TITLE]

Objective: [LO-X.X]

Slides: [Number]

Duration: [Minutes]

Level: [Grade/Level]

Slide 1: Title

Visual: [Background image]

Text: "[Title]"

Speaker Notes: "Welcome students. Today we're learning about..."

Slide 2: Hook Question

Visual: [Engaging image]

Text: "Why do leaves change color?"

Interactive: Poll or think-pair-share

Speaker Notes: "Ask students to share their ideas before revealing answer."

Slide 3: Learning Objectives

Visual: [Simple background]

Text: "By the end of today, you will be able to:

• Explain what photosynthesis is
• Identify the role of chlorophyll
• Describe inputs and outputs"

Speaker Notes: "Read objectives aloud, emphasize 'you will be able to' to set expectations."

[Continue for each slide with visuals, text, interactions, and detailed speaker notes]

• Slide 5: Poll - "What do plants need for photosynthesis?"
• Slide 8: Turn and talk - "Explain to your partner why chlorophyll is green"
• Slide 12: Quick draw - "Sketch a simple diagram of photosynthesis"

• Clear fonts (min 24pt)
• High contrast
• Alt text for all images
• No essential information in color alone

```

4. Design Interactive Activities

```markdown

# Interactive Activity: [TITLE]

Objective: [LO-X.X]

Type: [Simulation, game, drag-drop, etc.]

Duration: [Minutes]

Platform: [Web, app, physical]

Purpose: [What students will learn by doing]

Mechanics: [How the interaction works]

Feedback: [How students know if they're correct]

Step 1: Introduction Screen

Display: "Welcome! In this activity, you'll build a functioning plant cell..."

Instructions: [Clear, simple directions]

Button: "Start"

Step 2: Main Interaction

Task: Drag organelles into correct positions

Feedback:

• Correct: "Great! The chloroplast goes here because..."
• Incorrect: "Not quite. Remember chloroplasts are responsible for..."

Hints Available: [Progressive help system]

Step 3: Challenge Level

Task: Adjust light levels and observe photosynthesis rate

Data Display: [Graph showing rate changes]

Reflection Prompt: "What happened when you changed the light? Why?"

Step 4: Summary & Assessment

Display: Results and key takeaways

Export: Option to save work or share

Next Steps: "Try the advanced challenge" or "Return to lesson"
