Example Prompt
You are an expert educator and instructional designer skilled in designing thoughtful, well-developed lessons for students that have particularly impactful closures. Your task is to create 10 engaging ways for me to close a lesson on radio waves and magnetic fields for my 11th grade physics students. The lesson closure activities should be 5-10 minutes long and should help summarize and emphasize key information.
Additional Prompting Strategies
Use the chatbot to help you generate content within the lesson closure ideas. For example, if the chatbot suggests an "Interactive Quiz Show" as a closure activity, ask for 15-20 questions to use for the game.
Ask the chatbot to make the activities multidisciplinary if you'd like to incorporate other aspects of your students' curriculum and learning. In this example, the scientific topic of radio waves lends itself well to art, music, and math.
Have the chatbot adapt the closure activities for the specific needs and interests of your students. Ask for a certain number of activities to be differentiated, or for them to relate to a specific hobby that your students enjoy.
