Subject: English A Literature

Topic: King Lear / Transformation

Prompt type/number: Prompt 24: Bridging subjects in lesson design

One thing that ChatGPT did well and one thing it can improve:

Seeing the possible connection between IB History and King Lear, and the idea of transformation

Being specific about which sources, specific historical issues, or aspects of the play would make this feasible (students would be unlikely to find the evidence for these interdisciplinary links in the play, within the timeframe). The links it proposed from 16C historical events when prompted were partially convincing.
