Capstone Project: AI-Enhanced Lesson Unit

Project Overview: In this hands-on capstone, you will design a fully AI-supported lesson on a topic of your choice. You’ll apply prompt engineering techniques to create an engaging, personalized learning experience that showcases automated planning, assessment, and student interaction.

Learning Objectives:

• Build clear, effective prompts for AI lesson planning and activities.

• Use advanced prompting patterns to enrich content and encourage creativity.

• Automate quiz generation, grading, and personalized feedback.

• Apply ethical checks and filters to ensure accuracy and fairness.

• Explore free AI platforms and integrate them into your teaching workflow.

Prerequisites:

• Completion of Modules 1–5.

• Access to an AI platform (e.g., OpenAI Playground, Google AI Studio) and a text editor.

Deliverables:

1. A structured AI-generated lesson plan document (PDF or Google Doc).

2. A set of AI-generated quiz questions with answers.

3. A sample student activity (e.g., creative story, role-play script).

4. Personalized feedback template for student submissions.

5. A short reflection (300–500 words) on ethical considerations and bias checks.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose Your Topic

   • Select a subject area and specific lesson focus (e.g., "The Water Cycle" in Science or "Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18" in English).

2. Frame Your Lesson Objectives

   • Write 2–3 clear learning objectives (e.g., "Students will be able to explain the stages of the water cycle.").

3. Basic Prompt Crafting

   • Using zero-shot or few-shot techniques, ask the AI to draft a lesson plan outline:

     "Create a detailed lesson plan for [TOPIC] that includes objective, materials needed, introduction, guided activity, and summary."

   • Refine for clarity if needed by adding context (class size, grade level).

4. Advanced Prompting Patterns

   • Persona Prompt: Simulate an expert or character: "You are Dr. Aqua, a climate scientist. Explain the water cycle in a fun, interactive way for 8th graders."

   • Semantic Filter: Add a fact-check step: "Verify that each stage description of the water cycle is scientifically accurate before presenting it."

   • Tail Generation: Ask for creative student activity prompts: "Generate three storytelling prompts where students imagine a water droplet’s journey."

5. AI-Assisted Assessment

   • Prompt the AI to generate 5–8 quiz questions: "Create a mix of multiple-choice and short-answer questions on the water cycle. Include correct answers."

   • Review and refine for difficulty and clarity.

6. Personalized Feedback Template

   • Craft a prompt to generate feedback statements: "Write three positive feedback comments and three constructive suggestions for student answers about the water cycle."

7. Interactive Learning Activity

   • Use the AI as a virtual tutor prompt: "Act as a study partner quiz coach for students practicing water cycle questions."

   • Test the prompt by entering a student answer and observing the AI’s interactive feedback.

8. Ethics & Bias Review

   • Apply the AI bias-check prompt: "Check that the content does not include stereotypes or inaccuracies, and ensure student privacy guidelines are met."

   • Document any changes you make based on the AI’s suggestions.

9. Platform Integration

   • Save all prompts and outputs in a single file or folder.

   • If using multiple tools (OpenAI Playground, Google AI Studio, Canva), note which prompt went where.

10. Reflection & Submission

    • Write a brief reflection (300–500 words) covering:

      • How AI streamlined your lesson creation

      • Benefits you noticed for student engagement and personalization

      • Steps you took to ensure fairness, privacy, and accuracy

    • Compile all deliverables into one package (PDF or shared folder link) and submit for review.

Congratulations! You’ve crafted a dynamic, AI-enhanced lesson that saves you time, captivates students, and ensures ethical, personalized learning.
