Instructions
To reword your academic standards in family-friendly language, you will need to log in to Magic School AI and create a custom tool. Use the steps below to create your tool.
On the main screen, scroll down and click "Create a Custom Tool."
Scroll down and click "Standards Unpacker."
On the left side of the screen, rename your new tool and give it a description. An example is in the photo above. Then, click "Next" in the top right-hand corner.
Create instructions for your new tool by using this prompt: "Explain the standard in simple terms. Give examples of successful understanding of the standard." Then, click "Next" in the top right-hand corner.
Test out your new tool. Select the appropriate grade level and copy and paste one of your state standards into the box that says, "Standard to Unpack." The South Carolina and North Carolina standards are linked below for your convenience. Then, click "Generate."
Scroll down and review the summary of the standard. This summary is what you will send to parents after you edit and revise it. Then, click "Save" so you will be able to use your new tool again and again.
Insert one of your state standards into your newly developed tool, or use the standards linked below. Please note that depending on the state and standard, you will download a PDF document, open a Google Drive Folder, or be directed to a webpage.
Think about your process of creating a new tool for explaining your standards. On your Module Reflection Guide, write your reflections. Consider:
Do you think you will use this tool in the future?
What was challenging about using the tool?
What was easy about using the tool?
