Write several vague sentences on the board, such as "The thing was big" or "She did something nice." In small groups, have students rewrite each sentence in clearer, more precise language. Provide students with a short paragraph that contains vague words such as "stuff," "things," "a lot," or "very." Students can revise the paragraph by replacing these words with more specific vocabulary. Ask students a question related to a text or topic they are studying. First, have students think silently about their answer. Then have them explain their idea to a partner using complete sentences and clear reasoning. Partners can listen and ask clarifying questions if something is unclear.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The resource frames AI not just as a potential tool for instruction and lesson prep, but also as something educators should approach thoughtfully, including considering implications for academic integrity and student outcomes.

In the Classroom
Take advantage of the information in this article to learn how to set up stations where students try out approved AI tools for brainstorming, image generation, or research support. Students can record what the tools can and cannot do. Have students use AI to generate story starters, design art prompts, or suggest project ideas, then create original work from those prompts. Have students evaluate an AI tool's usefulness, safety, and learning value, then present recommendations to the class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
