- 2We plan the lesson
Each page becomes scenes: a diagram, a story, a key line or a worked example, never a long static slide.

Questions
Before you start.
Will it just read my pages aloud?
No. Each page is rewritten into a spoken lesson and broken into scenes: diagrams, steps, comparisons and short stories, so nothing sits on screen as a wall of text.
Can I choose who explains it?
Yes: a single narrator, a teacher in a frame beside the material, or a teacher and student talking it through.
How long can the PDF be?
From a two-page handout to a full book. A long book is split into a series of lessons, one per chapter.
