This is an activity that I created where students can pick a word what will help them throughout the year. The word they choose is a rudder for their daily life or there when they are uncertain what to do. Each word correlates to a number (this year I had posit notes of the number on my board that they could take off) when they click the number a word will appear that will have quotes on ways to think of how they can use the word. There is more explanation of this within the 1st two slides of the activity.

If you have not already heard of Chat GPT, it is an AI program that is open sourced, free to use that can write out answers to question for specifically what you ask it for. CLICK HERE FOR LINK. It basically used the auto fill feature that we see in text messaging, google slides/docs at an incredible rate, building off of itself and what others on the internet have written for the topic. For this reason, it is unique and will not flag on any copywrite programs. It can get arguments and connections, character, and quotes wrong, because it is using everything. However, the structure is a more advanced copy and paste that also puts in organization of the answer to have the cadence of real thought. 

Here are some examples of what you can put in and what you can get out of the program. The more detailed questions, the better the writing (as shown in the 1st example).

This is one where someone asked the program to "Describe losing your sock in the dryer in the style of the declaration of independence":

What to expect: Student know about this and they will use this program to copy from it. I would wager that even at home writing will be copied from what this generates.

How to use it: You can create a response to your prompt quickly and then annotate that response in terms of argument, or how it created connections and formatting for your students. But more importantly, show what it got wrong. This way students know that it is flawed.

How it can help you out: writing test questions, prompts, daily learning targets, grants, letters of rec, examples for your classroom, general questions to everyday issues.

For more interest on this program and a conversation of what to expect from this type of AI, this program and its purpose, here is a podcast episode from the New Yorker Times Ezra Klein, “A Skeptical Take on the A.I. Revolution”
