Act as a science curriculum specialist and create a 4-point rubric for assessing a Grade 5 project on scientific interconnections, focusing on cycles on Earth, speed, force, mass, and energy transfer. The rubric should evaluate students’ understanding of how cycles in ecosystems and the solar system create patterns, how speed is measured and influenced by force and mass, and how energy transfer drives changes in physical and biological systems. Provide clear performance descriptors at four levels (1-Beginning, 2-Developing, 3-Proficient, 4-Advanced) for criteria such as scientific understanding, application of concepts, organization, and creativity in presenting findings. Format the rubric in a table with concise explanations of each level of achievement.
Here's another rubric example. This time, I prompted ChatGPT to put a personal narrative rubric into a standard rubric format and make less subjective.
Chat GPT can generate emails for various topics. You might use ChatGPT to draft an email for an event or other item that you want to notify parents about.

The email should include essential details such as the need for a signed permission form and a brown bag lunch, along with any additional important information such as departure and return times or dress recommendations. Use a professional yet friendly tone and format the email to be clear, concise, and easy for parents to read.
Ask Syntax: Act as a teacher and compose an invitation email to the parents of 5th and 6th grade students, requesting volunteers to serve as guest speakers in the classroom.

Ensure the message is welcoming, professional, and encourages parent participation while offering flexibility for their availability. Present the email in a structured format with key details clearly outlined.

Present the feedback in a concise, actionable format that students can easily apply to their revisions.
