44. Back to Class Reflection Series: Writing a Summary with AI

from Teaching Writing in College

Now that we've covered the skill I was hoping to develop with my students (a basic knowledge of inductive reasoning) and several lesson plans that could help them develop that skill, in this episode I share the lesson plan I used to have them use AI as they write a summary of a piece of research that they would present in their project. This lesson plan is not only about prompting AI to make a summary, but also a few decisions they could make so that the summary fits into their larger project of a podcast monologue or transcript. I also provide some brief reflection on my teaching--that I just saw a new book in the field of writing studies about AI prompts as a genre of writing. I'd like to come back to that soon in a later episode to see if I can use it to strengthen my own teaching around AI.View episode 44 on YouTube: Vhttps://youtu.be/1iloIIg_ROYTeaching Writing in College is available:YouTube Playlist (video): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWbbrcygqkZvxqdPCqhuzu0yyx5trJUwApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teaching-writing-in-college/id1667922309YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWbbrcygqkZvxqdPCqhuzu0yyx5trJUw&si=ZnTI_Q3dItN5rodfSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TxG7hTN6qaJHN9euDBIZU?si=ur3jQve0TdyeSLKVyLsNgwSocials:Email: [email protected]: Teaching Writing in CollegeBluesky: @teachingwriting.bsky.socialYouTube: @teachingwritingincollegeMastodon: mastodon.social/@teachingwritingincollege
