Activity 1 (Part A): Getting Comfortable with AI
This activity highlights AI’s creative potential while letting you tailor prompts to your interests.
For a hobby of interest: Give me a list of 5–10 things to do for someone who enjoys (your hobby).
For a food of interest: Provide me a (choose 1) dinner/lunch/breakfast recipe that includes (your favourite food).
For books or songs of interest: Generate a list of (choose one) music artists or books for someone who loves (your favourite song or favourite book).
For a country of interest: Give me inspiration for unique activities to do while visiting (insert country) for (insert duration of trip) with a group of (number of people) aged (insert age).
Activity 1 (Part B): Using AI in the Classroom
Give me (insert number) activities to do with a class of (class size) students in (grade level) on the topic (topic) in (subject). The activities are designed to be done as (choose: stations/whole class/small groups/individually). Please provide alternatives for students who (insert an individual need you encounter).
Activity 2: The Power of Specificity
Watch the PB&J video, then try these progressively specific prompts and compare results:
Prompt 1: make a list of activities
Prompt 2: make a list of water activities
Prompt 3: make a list of water activities for 10-year-olds
Prompt 4: make a list of water activities for 10-year-olds to do on a field trip at the beach
Prompt 5: generate a list of activities for a class of 5th graders on a field trip to the beach that are fun and align with the BC Grade 5 science curriculum
Activity 3: Create Inclusive Student Profiles (No PII)
Create profiles for students of diverse needs. Do not include names, addresses, or personal information.
Student A Profile: (e.g., has dyslexia; benefits from audio and visuals)
Student B Profile: (e.g., ADHD; struggles to initiate large tasks—benefit from chunking/visual timers)
Student C Profile: (e.g., advanced learner; needs extensions and choice)
Student D Profile: (your own classroom context)
Activity 4: Plan with Inclusive Profiles
Give me a lesson plan on the topic (subject) that considers and can be adapted for:
• Student A (dyslexia; benefits from audio/visuals),
• Student B (ADHD; difficulty starting daunting tasks),
• Student C (advanced learner; would benefit from extension challenges),
• Student D (insert one of your profiles from the previous activity).
Activity 5: Compare Prompt Templates
Step 1:
Create a (detailed/simple) lesson plan for (grade level) students on the topic of (topic) in (subject). The lesson should be designed to last (duration).
Step 2: Compare with this curriculum-aligned template:
Create a (lesson plan/activity/game/quiz) for Grade (grade) students learning (BC curriculum subject) that aligns with the BC core competency (personal & social / thinking / communication), involves the Big Idea: "(paste Big Idea)", and targets the learning standard(s): "(paste curricular competencies)" and content standard(s): "(paste content)".
