Subject-Specific Tips

Science Lessons

Include diagram placeholder slides (label anatomy of a cell, diagram of the water cycle). Add these as images after conversion.

History / Social Studies

The AI naturally structures chronologically. Historical events become a timeline flow.

Math Lessons

Paste worked examples alongside lesson notes. The AI generates clear step-by-step problem slides.

Language Arts

Poetry, vocabulary, and writing prompts convert well. Request "discussion question slides" in the output.
