Frequently asked questions
What does the PDF look like?
A simple formatted document — headings and plain text on A4, with your unit details, overview, objectives and assessment. It is a plain formatted PDF, not a Word document.
Can I edit the PDF afterwards?
Not with this tool — change the details here and download it again for a new version.
Is my unit plan saved anywhere?
No. It is built in your browser and downloaded to your device. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
What is the Unit Plan Generator?
The Unit Plan Generator builds a unit plan and saves it as a PDF — the unit title, subject, grade, number of weeks, overview, learning objectives and assessment in one document. Fill in the title, subject and grade, set the length from 1 to 20 weeks, write a short overview of what the unit covers, list the learning objectives, and describe how you will assess the unit.

What you can use it for
Use it whenever a new unit needs a proper plan on paper:
- Plan a new unit from scratch. Starting a unit on Forces and Motion for Grade 6? Put the title, four weeks, overview, objectives and an end-of-unit test into one document before the first lesson.
- Share the plan with a colleague. Send the PDF to the teacher who shares your year group, so you both teach the same unit the same way.
- Hand it to your head of department. A one-document plan with objectives and assessment shows what the unit covers and how you will check learning, which is exactly what a line manager asks for.
- Keep it in your planning file. Save the PDF with the rest of your planning, and next year you can open it, copy the details back into the tool, and download a fresh version.
Good to know
Write the assessment section before you write the overview — deciding how you will check learning first keeps the rest of the plan honest. Keep the overview short: a few sentences on what the unit covers is enough, because the detail belongs in the lesson plans. Set the number of weeks carefully, since the plan runs from 1 to 20 weeks and a unit that is too long on paper is hard to finish in practice. If you need to spread the unit week by week, use the Curriculum Mapping Tool to map the topics across the term, then write each lesson with the Lesson Plan Generator and the Learning Outcomes Generator for the objectives.
Can I add a week-by-week breakdown to the PDF?
No. The PDF holds the unit title, subject, grade, number of weeks, overview, learning objectives and assessment — it does not break the unit down week by week. If you need that level of detail, use the Curriculum Mapping Tool to spread your topics across the weeks of the term and print its week-by-week table, then keep the two documents together in your planning file.
