Goal: Students use AI to expand thinking, uncover new ideas, and generate questions.
Purpose: Help me ask better questions, explore ideas, and compare perspectives.
Student Focus: "What’s worth exploring? What perspectives exist?"
Prompts for Students to use with AI:
"I'm researching [topic]. What are some less-obvious questions I should be asking about it?"
"I'm exploring [issue]. What are 2-3 significantly different perspectives or arguments related to it, and what are the main reasons someone might hold each one?"
"Beyond the common facts, what are some interesting historical, cultural, or scientific connections related to [topic] that I might not have considered?
"If I want to understand the [causes/effects/implications] of [event/phenomenon], what are some different angles or categories of information I should investigate?
"I have a basic understanding of [topic]. What are some common misconceptions or oversimplifications about it that I should be aware of as I dig deeper?
What are some interesting or surprising facts about this topic?
What do experts or different cultures say about this?
What are some common misunderstandings or myths about this idea?
Can you show me different points of view or arguments on this topic?
What are some deeper questions I could ask about this?
How does this idea connect to other topics I’ve learned?
What would happen if I changed one part of this situation or problem?
Can you help me brainstorm possible explanations or causes?
What patterns or trends should I be noticing?
Are there any exceptions to this rule or idea?
