How to Use "Create Anything" in Monsha for Any Teaching Resource

Learn how to use Monsha's Create Anything tool to generate any classroom resource that doesn't fit the other Monsha tools – and quite a lot that do.

Written by Piash

If you ever need a teaching resource that doesn't fit a standard template, or want a tool that matches a unique idea, Monsha's Create Anything is built for you.

With Create Anything, you can write feedback on a student's essay, draft a letter home, create a one-off rubric, design an anchor chart, summarize a class discussion, build a station-rotation plan — pretty much anything. You're not boxed in by a fixed format. You describe what you need, in your own words, and Monsha builds it.

It also covers everything the other tools can do. So if you're not sure whether a request belongs in Questions, Worksheet, Lesson Plan, or somewhere else, Create Anything is the safe default. It's the flexible front door to every capability Monsha has.

Below is a step-by-step walkthrough — and a look at everything you can do with a resource after it's generated.

1. Log in to Monsha

Go to app.monsha.ai and sign up or log in. It takes a moment.

2. Select "Create Anything" from the tools list

Once you're in, you'll see the full set of resource tools (Lesson Plan, Worksheet, Questions, and more). Click Create Anything — the one for resources that don't fit anywhere else, and for anything you want built fresh from a prompt.

3. Describe what you want to create

In the big textarea at the top, type out the resource you want. The placeholder reads "Describe your requirement..." — you can be specific or keep it loose. The more context you give, the more tailored the output.

A few examples:

  • "Give me feedback on this essay. List the strengths and areas for improvement, then rewrite the essay according to the feedback."

  • "Draft a letter to parents about the upcoming field trip, including key dates and permission requirements."

  • "Create a comprehensive master resource on the Water Cycle for Grade 8 — include a concept explanation, a labelled diagram description, a data table, a real-world case study, common misconceptions, and an exit ticket."

No need to worry about prompt formatting. Write it the way you'd describe it to a colleague.

4. Add supporting materials with Attach

Click the Attach dropdown (just below the textarea) to drop in extra context. The dropdown gives you five source types:

  • Video — paste a YouTube link and Monsha pulls in the transcript.

  • File — upload PDFs, DOCX, slides, spreadsheets, images, or scanned student work.

  • Website — link to an article, blog post, online textbook, or any URL.

  • Text — paste in raw text directly (a rubric, a student response, a snippet from a textbook).

  • Monsha Resource — pull in a resource you've already created in Monsha as context for the new one.

You can stack multiple sources in one request. Upload the student essay, paste the rubric, link to the assignment brief — Monsha will use all of them.

Next to Attach is a History button. It opens a Prompt History panel with every prompt you've sent through Monsha recently, with timestamps. Click any past prompt to drop it straight into the textarea — useful when you want to tweak something you already built rather than start over.

5. Set the grade and language

Pick the grade and language for the resource. Monsha uses both to set tone, vocabulary, and structure.

The Grade picker is a multi-tier menu, not a flat list. Start by picking your education system — United States / Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India / South Asia, IB, Cambridge, Age-Based, or University / Tertiary — then drill into the sub-level (Early Years, Elementary, Middle School, High School) and finally the specific grade.

The Language picker covers 60+ languages, so you can generate the resource directly in the language you teach in.

6. (Optional) Use More Options to align with your curriculum

Need the resource tied to a course, aligned to standards, or adapted to a framework? Click More Options to open three controls:

  • Attach to course — link this resource to a course or unit in your Monsha workspace.

  • Assign standards — align to Common Core, NGSS, or any other standards set you've added.

  • Adapt to framework → — adjust tone, complexity, or structure using a learning framework. The submenu has Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels, Lexile Reading Levels, and Bloom's Taxonomy.

These help the resource fit into the curriculum you already plan against, instead of sitting outside it.

7. (Optional) Turn on Web search

To the right of Generate there's a Web search toggle. Turn it on if you want Monsha to pull in current information from the web while building the resource — useful for anything tied to recent events, evolving topics, or external references.

8. Click Generate

Hit Generate. Monsha builds the resource in seconds and drops you on the new resource page, ready to read, refine, and use.

What can you do after generating your content?

After Monsha generates the resource, you get a full set of tools to refine it, adapt it, and ship it to your class.

Chat and iterate, like a conversation

The reply bar at the bottom of the page is open for as long as the resource is. Type any follow-up — "rewrite for Grade 6", "add a grammar feedback section", "make the case study more concrete" — and Monsha updates the resource in place.

A few specific ways to use it:

  • Type any change you want into the Reply here to keep going bar and hit send.

  • Click Attach (in the reply bar) to drop in another source mid-conversation — a new file, a website, another Monsha resource.

  • Click Quick prompts for ready-made follow-up moves: Create another variation, Focus more on, Make it engaging, Add references, plus submenus for Add more →, Reduce →, Change tone →, Adjust difficulty →, and Format/layout →.

  • Toggle the globe icon on the right of the reply bar to add web search to your follow-up.

Edit directly in Monsha's editor

Click Edit at the top-right of the content card. The card turns into an in-place editor — no popup, no separate window. You can rewrite, restructure, and add new blocks without leaving the page.

The toolbar leads with a + Insert dropdown that lets you drop in:

  • Basic blocks: Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Table, Code, Quote, Divider.

  • Lists: Bulleted list, Numbered list, To-do list, Toggle list.

  • Media: Image.

  • Advanced blocks: Table of contents, Equation, and more.

Next to Insert you get standard formatting — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough — plus alignment, list controls, link, table, image, indent, and undo/redo. When you're done, hit Save in the top-right (or Cancel to back out without saving).

Instantly adapt and differentiate

Open the content card's More menu and click Differentiate to remix the resource for a different audience without rebuilding it. The Differentiate modal has five options:

  • Translate — into any of Monsha's supported languages.

  • Adjust Grade Level — push it up or down.

  • Adjust DOK Level — change the depth of thinking required.

  • Adjust Lexile Reading Level — tune the reading complexity.

  • Adapt to Bloom's Taxonomy — reshape it around a different cognitive level.

Use this when one resource needs to land for two reading levels, or when you want a Spanish version of the same handout, or when you want to nudge a discussion prompt from "remember" to "evaluate".

Reuse the same prompt for a new resource

The More button next to Share (top-right of the page) gives you two extras:

  • See Prompt — view the exact prompt that built this resource. Useful if you want to copy it, refine it, and re-run it.

  • Create based on this — start a new resource from this one's prompt as a base, so you can iterate from a working starting point instead of going back to a blank textarea.

Generate follow-up resources without leaving the page

In the content card's More menu, Create more resources based on this output lets you spin off related materials — comprehension questions, an extension activity, a parent update — using the same generated content as the source. Faster than copying the output into a new tool and starting over.

Export and share

When the resource is ready, you have two paths:

Click Export (top-right of the content card) to open the Export Resource modal. The current options include:

  • Export to Google Docs — opens a Google Doc with the content.

  • Share to Google Classroom — sends it straight to one of your Classroom classes.

  • Download as DOCX — saves a Word file.

  • Download as PDF — saves a PDF.

  • Download as Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizzez and many others.

Click Share (top-right of the page) to open the Share Resource modal. From there you can:

  • Copy a Shareable Link to the resource.

  • Toggle Allow this resource to be publicly indexed and discoverable if you want the resource findable on the web.

  • Send it to one or more teachers by email with a custom message.

Everything stays saved in your Monsha account, so you can come back to any resource later to edit, differentiate, re-export, or build something new from it.
