# Practical: build a two-week content calendar

AI Content Creation | Module 17: Plan a realistic content calendar

## Your goal

Plan a two-week sequence around a hypothetical event day with realistic production and approval time.

Bring together the two lessons in this module. Plan a two-week sequence around a hypothetical event day with realistic production and approval time. Use the fictional Green Bench source pack, and keep missing details visible in your working notes.

Your finished work should include: A calendar with purpose, format, owner, relative day, and status. A batch-work plan and a process for changing approved details. Keep the actual text in the workspace. For media, describe your file or storyboard, its version, and the decisions it shows. Media files stay on your device; this form saves text only.

Try this review experiment: Remove half your available production time. Reduce the plan while preserving the most useful reader information. Record what changed and why. You may use your own AI tool or work from the supplied sample drafts. Label which approach you used. The checklist checks completeness and your review record, not creative quality.

## Source pack

FICTIONAL PRACTICE BRIEF: Green Bench is a student repair club. It runs a free notebook-cover repair workshop on Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, in Room B. There are 12 places. Learners bring one worn notebook; tools and scrap card are provided. Register using the club form. No date, form URL, access arrangements, impact figures, or testimonials have been supplied. Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

## Worked example

Plan a two-week sequence around a hypothetical event day with realistic production and approval time.

### Your finished work

A calendar with purpose, format, owner, relative day, and status. Start from the examples in the two earlier lessons, then write your own complete version or a detailed account of your media asset.

### Evidence and review

Use this experiment: Remove half your available production time. Reduce the plan while preserving the most useful reader information. Record the observations, source checks, and any unresolved questions.

### Revision and next step

Describe a specific change to this assignment and explain how it helps the reader. Keep the previous version for comparison.

## Guided practical

1. Revisit lessons 17-01 and 17-02 and collect your drafts.
2. Plan a two-week sequence around a hypothetical event day with realistic production and approval time.
3. Use your own tool or the supplied examples. Keep the source facts, prompt, and draft together.
4. Remove half your available production time. Reduce the plan while preserving the most useful reader information.
5. Revise the work, complete the worksheet, and record any remaining publication blockers.

### Deliverables

- A calendar with purpose, format, owner, relative day, and status.
- A batch-work plan and a process for changing approved details.

## Your work

Plan a two-week sequence around a hypothetical event day with realistic production and approval time.

### Your finished work

Write at least 30 words.


### Evidence and review

Write at least 20 words.


### Revision and next step

Write at least 15 words.

## Review your work

- [ ] I included a calendar with purpose, format, owner, relative day, and status.
- [ ] I included a batch-work plan and a process for changing approved details.
- [ ] I recorded an actual review result and a specific revision.

Completeness checks do not assess creative quality or factual accuracy. Review the actual work yourself or with a mentor.
