use to generate this story. Once you’ve agreed on a prompt, enter it into the platform. Read out some or all of the story that is generated. Refine the prompt to improve the story. Get pupils to complete Worksheet 2 , thinking about suitable prompts to get the example text. Discuss how these might be improved or refined. Put children into groups or pairs and ask them to use AI to generate a story that includes one suggested element from each member of the group. An example could be: write an adventure story about a cute guinea pig, Ant-Man and a pony called Daisy. The children can add ‘way points’, such as, ‘They must visit a castle at the end of the story’. Ask the groups to discuss how the outputs could be improved. Assessment Assess learners by their ability to form and refine prompts to create a desired AI-generated outcome. WEEK 3 Learning objective l To be able to use AI to enhance creative writing, and know how to collaborate with AI to generate ideas. Ask the children to play a game of Consequences in small groups, where they must continue a story based on only seeing the last sentence that has been written, by folding over the paper so the rest of the story cannot be seen. Explain that they will be collaborating with AI in a similar way. Now, ask the children to write a story opening. You could get them to do this as homework on a text document, so they can copy/paste quickly in the lesson. Prompt the generative AI platform you are using to ‘Continue the following story:’ and then paste the opening into the prompt box. Once pupils have read the output, ask them to write the next paragraph and then repeat the process until a lengthy story has been created. Ensure you save these creations (copy/paste into a text doc), as they will be used in the following lesson. Next, flip the activity by asking the AI to create a story opening based on something that the children have been studying in class. This time, ask the learners to continue the narrative, using their knowledge of the subject matter in the next paragraph, and then repeat. Now, copy and paste a short piece of writing into the prompt. Ask the AI to: highlight potential errors; create a short summary; create a paragraph that links two stories together; convert one type of writing into another. Discuss whether the children might use AI to augment and improve their own written work in the future, and whether or not it could be used to enhance learning. As a teacher, you may wish to consider this question yourself. You can now ask pupils to complete Worksheet 3 . Assessment l Assess pupils by their ability to use prompts to generate a continuing piece of writing.
