Description
This packet about Voltaire guides students step-by-step through the process of creating a customized prompt to generate creative content from a chatbot:
- Step 1: The teacher hands out a single page to their students and discusses the key elements of a strong prompt (genre, characters, action, location, time, problems, tone, and length). Students select from dozens of interesting options to build prompts tailored to their own interests.
- Step 2: Each student then uses a computer or smartphone to input their prompt into an AI chatbot (like ChatGPT), and they record the poem or story or conversation or essay on paper (or create a digital copy).
- Step 3: Each student independently evaluates their own prompt as well as the product generated by the AI chatbot on another piece of paper, answering questions about the vocabulary and tone, any interesting or confusing things they encountered, even giving the AI chatbot a “grade” using expressive emojis.
- Step 4: Students read aloud the AI-generated products to three different people and listen to their suggestions while also making revisions as needed.
- Step 5: Students read aloud their products to the class, and every student evaluates what they liked and what they wondered about.
This packet comes with six examples of both well-crafted prompts and an AI poem, story, conversation, essay, description and list of facts). I also provide a page describing ten benefits of prompt engineering that you can print and give to parents. I provide a list of Expectations that all students must agree to regarding bias, language, explicit content, hate speech and personal responsibility. I provide a description of ten actions to improve during oral presentations that you can print for your students. I describe twenty different tones that a poem or essay or conversation can have (eerie, nostalgic, pensive, sarcastic, reflective, whimsical, etc.). I have a letter to each student that explains why it is essential to acquire this skill in the modern era. And I provide a letter that you can hand to your administrator explaining the practical use of AI chatbots in the classroom. Yes, I have included a lot in this packet so that you are fully prepared to engage your students!
This packet empowers students to unlock a chatbot's potential through the art of effective prompting. They'll develop critical thinking, communication, and digital literacy as they learn to be precise prompt engineers, honing skills vital for the AI age. Take a look at the Preview to see sample pages.
