What is a CAPS lesson plan generator?
A CAPS lesson plan generator writes a complete lesson plan aligned with the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement for your subject and grade. Type a topic, paste textbook content or upload a photo of a page, and choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes. The plan includes the subject, grade, term and week, the CAPS topic, objectives starting with By the end of the lesson learners will be able to, prior knowledge, resources (LTSM) and three timed phases: introduction, development and consolidation. It adds questions at different cognitive levels, informal assessment with any link to SBA tasks, support and extension, homework and teacher reflection. Add timing or more interaction, then download or print it.

How long can the lesson be?
Choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, and the phases are timed to fit.
Can I edit, download or print the plan?
