My favorite way I have used AI with my students has been developing questions for research. We asked, “What are some argumentative questions about _______?” And watched it generate. It has really helped me show students how many conversations there are around various topics and will build nuance into their research process. It’s basically a Google search on steroids.

Hi Rebekah… thank you for all of these ideas! It’s a one stop shop. I appreciate it. I also love the creative side that can be brought into these ideas. Maybe districts can finally let “teaching to the test” pressure go and bring back more creativity. Combine creativity with personal voice …. that leads to fun, engagement, and authentic learning. For high school English I’m thinking about things like digital storytelling/video, photo essays/digital composition, creating children’s books to read to younger children, interview projects, graphic novel unit like you shared … the ideas are unlimited. We got this.

I have had my students use AI to generate an essay and then the students edit (the essay had parts from the film version of The Outsiders that aren’t in the book) and revise it for better voice, and “meaning” they called it.
