Step by step
The workflow to follow inside Planlark.
These steps are ordered to match how the planner works in practice, so later actions build on the context created in earlier ones.
2
Add source material or unit context
Paste source text, chapter notes, curriculum excerpts, or key topics. The more concrete context you provide, the more usable the generated sequence will be.
3
Use Plan All Lessons or Build Sequence
These actions generate a sequence of lessons that fit the available dates for that class. Planlark uses the real school schedule instead of guessing a generic Monday to Friday pattern.
4
Review dates, pacing, and outcomes
Check whether the unit is too long, too short, or missing coverage. This is also the point where outcome mapping and pacing checks become useful, because the sequence already exists.
5
Refine with Lark instead of rebuilding manually
Ask Lark to shorten a unit, change Lesson 4, add an assessment, or regenerate only part of the sequence. You should not need to rewrite the whole unit to make one meaningful adjustment.

FAQ
Questions teachers usually ask here.
Can I start from a textbook or curriculum excerpt?
Yes. Source text is one of the best ways to start because it gives the unit planner actual material to structure and sequence.
Do I have to regenerate the whole unit to fix one lesson?
No. Planlark is built so you can edit single lessons, revise part of a sequence, or ask Lark for a targeted change instead of rebuilding everything.
