Activity #5: Activity 5 follows a constructivist learning theory and aligns with learning objectives 4; Create effective prompts for accurate, relevant, and curriculum-aligned content, and 5; Evaluate and adapt AI-generated materials for accuracy, bias, and alignment with learning goals. 

This activity is designed to show teachers how they can incorporate curriculum-specific material into AI. It also shows them that although you can give an abundance of information to a GENAI platform, you may have to adapt AI-generated materials, as you know your classroom best! Lastly, it provides the learner with the confidence to create their templates/prompts they can use with AI going forward. All of these considerations ensure responsible AI practice. 

Instructions:

STEP ONE: Prompt any following AI platform of your choice (CHATGPT, GEMINI or DIFFIT) with the following sentences filling in the blanks accordingly.


Create a (choose 1) detailed/simple lesson plan for (grade level) students on the topic of (topic you are teaching) in (subject). The lesson should be designed to last (duration).

STEP TWO: Find three things you want to adapt about the results, keeping your classroom in mind. 

STEP THREE: Next, you can compare the results from prompt #1 to when the following template is used, filling in the blanks accordingly. Some things to look for are how realistic you believe each lesson to be, consider which lesson you are more likely to use, the clarity/description of each lesson, and the way the AI platform introduced/concluded the lesson (e.g., why this works section).

STEP FOUR: Reflect on the importance of ensuring that curriculum content is correctly being followed.

STEP FIVE: Create your template that you see yourself using moving forward!

STEP SIX :
Post reflection questions below on your WordPress blog.
