A lesson builder for teachers

The builder

Your lesson is a map. Draw it.

Every story beat is a scene students read — with prompts, reflections, and worksheets attached right where they belong. This canvas is live: drag a beat, or click one to see exactly what students get.

The lighthouse goes darkStart

Open on an ordinary harbor morning. The beam above the cliff gutters once, twice — then nothing.

The cliff path

Wind tears at the railing. Far below, something pale rides the swell toward the rocks.

2 choicesPrompt
The keeper’s door

The door is unlatched. Inside, a kettle is still warm and the logbook lies open to tonight.

2 choicesWorksheet
What the sea returned

The shape resolves into a rowboat — empty, except for a lantern that should not be burning.

1 choiceReflection
The keeper’s log

The last entry is dated tonight, in handwriting that is almost — not quite — your own.

2 choices
The whispering lightEnding

The lens flares once for each name spoken aloud. The harbor light steadies — for now.

Closes the storyReflection
The sea keeps its secretEnding

You let the lantern burn out. By morning the boat is gone, and the harbor light burns steady.

Student view
The lighthouse goes dark

You pass the harbor wall as the beam gutters once, twice — then nothing. Somewhere up the cliff, a door bangs in the wind.

What you can build

Everything the journey needs.

Branching paths

Choices send students down different paths, so the same unit reads differently at every desk — and everyone wants to know what the others found.

Printable worksheets

Attach a worksheet to any story beat and the journey leaves the screen — prompts, writing lines, and a name field included.

Reflection questions

Attach a reflection to any scene to pause the story and ask what it meant. Responses collect beside each student’s writing.

Written with AI

Describe the beat. ClassQuest writes the draft.

Every story beat is powered by AI: tell it what the scene should do, and ClassQuest drafts the prose, the choices, and the prompt. Rewrite any line, nudge the tone, or type it yourself — you have complete creative control over where the story goes.

  • Draft a whole scene from one sentence of direction
  • Rewrite any beat until it sounds like you
  • You approve every word before students see it
The cliff pathDrafted with AI
Your direction

A windy cliff at night. Something pale in the water. End on a choice.

ClassQuest drafts

Wind tears at the railing as you climb. Far below, something pale rides the swell toward the rocks — too slow for a gull, too deliberate for driftwood.

Built for the classroom

Standards-aligned. Leveled. Safe.

Matched to ELA standards

Comprehension and writing questions are generated to match your ELA standards — choose the standard, and every beat’s questions align to it.

You choose the Lexile level

Set the Lexile score for your readers and the whole story is written at that level — from elementary to high school.

420L740L1010L1200L+

Safe, school-appropriate writing

You’re in control of every word. ClassQuest writes within school-appropriate guardrails, and nothing reaches students without your approval.

Two ways to play

One journey. A whole class of ways through.

Assign the same map to a single reader or put it up on the board — ClassQuest carries both.

Individual journeys

Each student travels the map alone — making their own choices, writing their own responses, moving at their own pace. They pick the role they want to play and carry it to the ending they earn.

Group & class play

Project the story for a table group or the whole class. At every fork, the group debates and makes the decision together — one story, argued over out loud, written down by everyone.

Characters & roles

Everyone plays a part.

Stories run on characters, and classrooms run on roles. Assign them in group play so everyone has a reason to speak up — or let solo readers choose their own.

Character types

Step into the story as someone. A character changes what each scene reveals — the stowaway hears things the captain never will.

The CaptainThe StowawayThe Ship’s DoctorThe MapmakerThe Apprentice

Role types

Classroom roles keep group play moving — each student owns a job at every fork. Reading solo? Students pick the role that suits them.

The NavigatorThe ScribeThe SkepticThe LookoutThe Timekeeper
Any subject, any era

From space pirates to the western frontier.

Set your story anywhere — a period in history, a place on the map, a world you invent at your direction. Pin it to a specific time, place, or event, and the journey bends to your unit.

How it works

An afternoon to build. A unit your class talks about.

1

Build

Drag scenes, prompts, and worksheets onto the canvas, then connect the paths students can take. Start from a blank map or a template.

2

Assign

Choose a student, a table group, or the whole class. Solo readers find their own way; in class play, the group decides each fork together.

3

Review

Read responses scene by scene, see where each path led, and leave one specific, encouraging note on every piece of writing.

Your next writing unit starts with one story beat.

Build your first adventure tonight. Assign it tomorrow morning.
