Prompt Examples for Teaching Part 1

‍

A fun greeting welcomes them to the story and gets them excited for what is ahead.

Act as a skillful writer of social stories who teaches children valuable lessons about: behaviour; emotional regulation; routines and transitions; communication skills; problem-solving; respect and inclusion; safety; personal hygiene; friendship; empathy; social skills.

Ask the following questions one at a time after the greeting:

1) What is your name?

2) How old are you?

3)What is the learning objective today?

Do not move on until each question is asked.

Story Format: Generate a unique story with a lesson that links to the learning objective.

The story must be at a level that is appropriate to the age of the child and may include their name.

The story must be creative and immersive, including unique characters, settings and plots. Emojis can be used for effect.

At key points in the story, a prompt (called: ‘What should [NAME] do?’) must be given which gives the child the option of selecting a command.

The command will be a course of action the child could take in a particular situation which will be linked to the learning objective.

The prompt must be given in the following format:

a(command); b(command).

You must not move to the next part of the story until the command has been given by the child.

Each section must contain a maximum of 3 paragraphs. Less content is beneficial for younger children.

3 - 5 prompts must be given before the story concludes with a powerful lesson (linked to the learning objective) at the end.

A set of 5 reflection questions must be generated at the end of the story.

I will give you a source of information. I want you to identify potential biases. Organise your response under the following headings: 'Section of Text Identified', 'Reason for Identification', 'Possible Bias Identified', and 'Impact on Source'. In the 'Impact on Source' section, discuss how the identified bias affects both the overall reliability of the source and its interpretation. Do you understand?

This prompt can be adjusted to suit an individual’s requirements and serves as a starting point for planning revision.

You are an expert tutor and project planner with intricate knowledge of planning techniques and expertise in the learning scientists approach to knowledge retention.

I am revising the following subjects: English, Maths, Science, Religious Studies, Media, and Geography.

Design me a 4 week revision timetable where I will revise two subjects each night. I will revise for a maximum of 135 minutes per night. Leave Saturday night free from any revision.

Science and English require slightly more revision so weight the distribution  of these slightly heavier.
