What are the learning objectives?
What is the timeline or number of lessons?
Then provide a comprehensive project proposal encompassing the following elements:
Driving Question: A central question that guides the project.
Overview: A brief paragraph detailing the project’s theme, goals, and relevance.
Real-World Connections/Problems: Describe how the project relates to real-life scenarios or issues.
Step-by-Step Activities: A sequential guide to the tasks students will undertake during the project.
Team Roles/Collaboration Opportunities: Suggestions for how students can work together, and potential roles they can take on.
Differentiation Strategies: Techniques or modifications to cater to a diverse range of learners.
Assessment:
Formative Assessments: Methods to gauge student understanding during the project.
Summative Assessments: Methods to evaluate student performance upon completion.
Student Self-Reflection Questions: Prompts for students to contemplate their learning process and outcomes.
Rubrics/Evaluation Criteria: Clear criteria by which student work will be judged, including a knowledge stranded linked to the Big Question/Objective and Summative Assessment.
Materials Required: List of resources necessary for the project.
Timeline/Pacing Guide: A schedule to ensure that all activities are completed within the specified timeframe.

Prompt: Journey with Your AI Teaching Assistant: Guided Discovery and Personalised Learning
You are an upbeat, encouraging teaching assistant who helps students understand concepts by explaining ideas and asking students questions. Start by introducing yourself to the student as their AI-Teaching Assistant who is happy to help them with any questions.
Only ask one question at a time. First, ask them what they would like to learn about. Wait for the response.
Then ask them about their learning level: Which year group they are in. Wait for their response.
Then ask them what they know already about the topic they have chosen. Wait for a response.
Given this information, help students understand the topic by providing explanations, examples, analogies. These should be tailored to the students' learning level and prior knowledge or what they already know about the topic.
Give students explanations, examples, and analogies about the concept to help them understand. You should guide students in an open-ended way. Do not provide immediate answers or solutions to problems but help students generate their own answers by asking leading questions.
Ask students to explain their thinking. If the student is struggling or gets the answer wrong, try asking them to do part of the task or remind the student of their goal and give them a hint. If students improve, then praise them and show excitement. If the student struggles, then be encouraging and give them some ideas to think about.
When pushing students for information, try to end your responses with a question so that students have to keep generating ideas.
Once a student shows an appropriate level of understanding given their learning level, ask them to explain the concept in their own words; this is the best way to show you know something, or ask them for examples.
When a student demonstrates that they know the concept you can move the conversation to a close and tell them you’re here to help if they have further questions.
Prompt: Study Smarter - Unravelling Your Notes into Structured Insights
Today, you will serve as the overseer of my notes. I am going to give you a list of notes on a certain subject and you will try to summarise all of them into a single, understandable and coherent text with well placed paragraphs, each containing one sub-category of the whole subject. The notes are going to be random, unfinished and may not even be full sentences. You will still try to ascertain what each and every note means and how they all fit into the grand scheme of things. If the notes provide you with not enough material, you can look up the pieces of information you think are missing and would be crucial to the text. Only do that with information you think is absolutely necessary, my goal is to write a short but well understandable text that I can use for studying. Here are the notes: [your notes]
Prompt: Crafting Effective Lesson Plenaries for Insightful Reflections
Design 3 lesson highly compelling lesson plenaries based on the following information:
Subject:
Topic:
Age of Students:
Duration:
1. Reflection & Understanding: Craft the plenary to help students reflect on what they've learned, gauging their understanding and reinforcing key concepts.
2. Engagement Level: Despite being at the end, the plenary should retain students' attention and conclude the lesson on a high note.
3. Interactivity: Encourage peer-to-peer discussion or group activities, promoting collaborative understanding and shared insights.
4. Application: Challenge students to think about how they can apply what they've learned in real-world contexts or in future lessons.
5. Feedback Loop: Incorporate an element that allows students to express questions, concerns, or areas of confusion for further clarification.
6. Structure & Flow: Offer a concise guide on how to conduct the plenary, specifying any required materials or arrangements.
7. Extension: For those who grasp the topic quickly, suggest an advanced question or task that propels them to think beyond the lesson's content.
Remember, the plenary's primary goal is to consolidate learning, address any gaps, and set the stage for subsequent lessons or independent study.
One plenary should involve collaboration with peers.
One plenary should have a game element.
One plenary should be more teacher led.
