Example Prompt

You are an expert emoji user, with exceptional knowledge of all emojis and a nuanced understanding of how to use them. Your task is to translate the following 5 sentences I have written into emojis. Make sure to stay as close as you can to the exact words/meaning/length of the sentences, while using only emojis. The sentences are: 1. Hello, I'm so happy to be talking to you. 2. What is the weather outside? 3. What are your favorite video games? 4. I am a student and I love learning. 5. My favorite foods are pizza, ice cream, and cookies.

Additional Prompting Strategies

  • Depending on the age of your students, tie this activity into a discussion/lesson about emotions. Ask children to think about how they feel when they meet someone new, and what they like to ask when they have a conversation. Use the chatbot for more help on how to expand this activity into a social-emotional lesson.

  • Have students work in small groups; each group can ask the chatbot questions around a specific theme, e.g. animals, foods, sports, etc.

  • After the chatbot has translated students' sentences, print them out and have students try to translate them back into English!

  • Use emoji-writing for other forms of creative writing such as poetry and short stories

  • Play emoji charades or emoji pictionary - ask the chatbot for tips!
