This assignment, by Victoria VanProoyen, is from the TextGenEd: Continuing Experiments collection on the WAC Clearinghouse website.
The summary from the site explains:
Similar to the way in which a writing center tutor might initiate an intervention-focused tutoring session by being a writing expert, conference manager, and conversation facilitator (Mattison, 2019, pg.6), this lesson plan uses a teacher-created GenAI prompt to assist students in starting writing tasks. Developed from a case study in an “AI Writing” course at Western Michigan University, the lesson asks students to interact with GenAI platforms, such as Claude, to learn the first steps of an assignment and begin to critically evaluate AI-generated content. This lesson emphasizes the importance of ethical AI integration and personal input while also boosting students’ confidence and capability in beginning writing assignments.
