Power Prompting for Teachers by Lisa Sawyer

Minecraft & Social Studies

robertaheath — 2025-01-15 14:30:11 UTC

You are a digital learning coach working with a 7th grade social studies teacher on integrating a Minecraft lesson in their classroom. The standard to be taught is: Explain how competition for resources affects the economic relationship among nations. The time period for this lesson to be implemented is one week. Design a lesson that meets these standards, time period and integration of Minecraft.

This lesson provides a detailed breakdown of each day for a week long lesson on communities. It gives enough information to help develop the lesson, but allows for more details to be added by the teacher. AI completed in 10 seconds what would take me significantly longer to formulate.

ELA/SS Book VR Field Trip

lisasawyer1 — 2025-01-15 18:00:01 UTC

1. I am a media coordinator at an elementary school. We are getting ready to do a virtual reality lesson. Create a lesson plan that aligns with ELA and Social Studies standards that will have students take a virtual field trip to a place that is written about in a book that could be found in an elementary school's library.

2. Link to Perplexity

3. This lesson plan was very detailed. It had objectives, standards, materials, and step-by-step directions. It even had an extension activity where I could use AI to create a lesson plan and even a rubric. My only issue was that even though I asked for an elementary school book, it gave me the Harry Potter series, which is not only over their heads, the series are books that cause quite a bit of debate. In the future, I may need to be more specific about the book's genre.

** ETA **

I did the follow-up and gave it a new directive: The lesson needs to be geared more to grades Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade. The class time is only 50 minutes.

When I did this, it changed from Hogwarts to the Hundred-Acre Woods, and Winnie the Pooh is more for our age group.

100th Day of School Activity

2025-01-16 13:47:58 UTC

I am a first grade teacher and I need to create a 30 minute reading or writing lesson for the 100th day of school.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-am-a-first-grade-teacher-and-p8I1uspmSbG7Xedl_qHSzw
This lesson plan will be great to use in my first grade class. We do write the room often and they truly enjoy it. Some of them may struggle with writing 100 words but I can see most of the class doing well with this activity. I also have several students who have short attention spans but I believe this will keep their attention for most of the planned lesson time. AI completed this lesson in just a few seconds and saved me tons of time researching ideas for the 100th day of school.

I am a first grade teacher and needed to create a writing lesson for MLK, Jr.

This lesson helped to provide me with materials and activities within seconds saving me time. It also provided me with differentiated activities which will help to meet all the levels of my students.

2025-01-16 14:44:40 UTC

create a literature study that uses wordless picture books identifying the characteristics of this literature style. It needs to include discussion questions, group work and to create a book themselves. This is for first graders.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/create-a-literature-study-that-VV6o2tN1TeOikvclnljT8g
This gave me multiple ideas on how to extend discussions on wordless picture books.

2025-01-16 14:45:03 UTC

Create lesson for black history month for 1st grade students
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/create-lesson-for-black-histor-2wuFse8CQHSgknoCI_py5w
It had a great extension activity for students to be able to take what they learned and use it out in the community.

Groundhog Day Activity for 1st Grade

courtneybaccus1 — 2025-01-16 14:45:19 UTC

Create a Groundhog day small group activities for first grade. Students will have 15 minutes to complete activity for 1 day.

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/create-a-groundhog-day-small-g-otTMrlc8Q4mnVuFXSN3mvA#0

These activities integrate science, math, writing, and creativity while making Groundhog Day fun and educational for first graders.

MLK jr Mini Lesson 2nd Grade

2025-01-16 15:39:53 UTC

Create a 2nd grade lesson plan for a 20 minute time block about Martin Luther King Jr "I Have a Dream Speech." I would like the lesson to include a creative writing prompt for students to complete.

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/create-a-2nd-grade-lesson-plan-DXjPmqFWQuG2nJIS7W8c1Q

I found it very helpful to be able to put in a timeframe in which the lesson needed to fit! I had never used perplexity before (only had used ChatGPT) and I will add this to my list of resources.

2nd Grade Science - Matter

2025-01-16 15:41:35 UTC

I am a second grade teacher and I need to create a 4 week progressive lesson unit on matter with student independent activities that are printable and/or online.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-am-a-second-grade-teacher-an-ss8cKGCYS.WYFrkb8XRHuw
I liked how it did give a 2nd grade appropriate progression unit on teaching matter with links for student independent activities.

Edit Query

Authors Purpose

2025-01-16 15:44:35 UTC

1) I am a second grade teacher who needs a thirty minute lesson on authors purpose of writing a book. There are 16 students. I would like this to be on nonfiction and fiction text. Put this is a bullet format. I like this lesson plan and want to keep it. However, can we add an extension activity for academically gifted students?

2)https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-am-a-second-grade-teacher-wh-jFb7ieagR468GA_nr3YjvQ

3) This lesson will be great to go along with the Ready curriculum to add in some supplemental support for my students. I like that this included some acronyms to help them remember, group activities that were not just paper pencil, and I was able to get some extension activities as well. I think this lesson would help my students understand authors purpose.

AIG Choice Board for WIN class

2025-01-16 16:42:21 UTC

You are a 2nd grade teacher, create a choice board for AIG students to use during a 45 min self-paced class block. Include second grade math, reading, social studies and science content. Science content should include: weather, states of matter, and sound skills for 2nd grade NC standards. This choice board should be in the format of a google slide to upload to google classroom.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/you-are-a-2nd-grade-teacher-cr-21S7iVwuSbyKBRB08j025g
Reflection: The ideas generated for the choice board are easy to use and would be simple to add to a Google Slide. It was simple, I did ask it to rewrite the ideas to include videos and games for 2nd grade students. Not all of the games were available without creating an account.

Book Titles

2025-01-16 16:46:35 UTC

I'm a 2nd grade english teacher trying to write about the season of spring book and each student has to make a entry about the spring time. For example, the last book was about their favorite thing they loved about their school. Please create a list of possible spring related titles for my book.

https://chatgpt.com/share/67893765-c2e4-8013-964d-d7ffa0a5ccba

This was very helpful to be able to get some Book Ideas for our classroom project. This makes me excited to share these titles with my students.

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-am-a-kindergarten-teacher-lo-M67wC2_jQ9G0ipgLxL2Sng
This was useful. I did go back and write more info regarding what numbers I wanted to focus on in the activities. I especially like the "Get off My Boat" subtraction activity. This activity appears to be easy to set up and simple enough for all level learners to easily participate in.
