exercises about topics unknown to ChatGPT, such as students’ personal experiences,
can encourage students at all grade levels to write about their community, sports,
cultural, and ethnic activities or personal histories that are meaningful to them
(Baffour, 2023).
According to Terwiesch (2023), using ChatGPT as an engagement stimulus can
have positive results. Instead of assigning a five-paragraph essay on any given topic,
an instructor could use ChatGPT as a tool to help students overcome the common
problem of writer’s block. Students can use this strategy to help them find topics
for their essays. Encouraging students to use ChatGPT to come up with ideas for
course projects, such as project-based learning, is another advantage. Terwiesch
(2023) notes that coming up with a creative idea is difficult; reading 10 ideas from an
AI bot may be much easier. He also recommends educators reconsider new testing
strategies, review their curriculum, and question the purpose of each of their tests by
utilizing AI tools.

Teaching Strategies Using AI
McDade (2023) suggests another strategy to use with this AI tool is to invert the
book or poetry assignment. He recommends engaging students’ curiosity by having
them create their own questions to ask ChatGPT about their assigned reading and
critiquing the chatbot’s answers. Such analysis supports critical thinking skills. In
the same vein, Klein (2023) suggests another creative strategy might be to have
students studying Macbeth ask Macbeth what he thought about the consequences of
murder. What about asking ChapGPT to write a rap song in the style of Lord Byron?
Recently, I wrote ChatGPT that I wanted to interview Harper Lee (1926–2016),
the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, and ask her reasoning about one of her quotes:
“The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes
you think” (Perez, 2018). My next question was “What did Harper Lee want her
readers to leave with after reading her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird?” ChatGPT
provided me with insightful themes that Lee may have wanted readers to consider.
Whole discussions and writing exercises can ensue with this initiative (ChatGPT
3.5, 2024). Students can also ask other authors, dead or alive, about their writing
styles or about their selective quotes. Critical thinking skills come into play here.
The teacher can adapt this strategy to any grade level or literary genre.

our schools that encourages students to speak up when
they are struggling in class. With the help of ChatGPT,
students can receive the remediation they need rather
than fake their level of knowledge to avoid embarrassment. How many times have
teachers assumed that the quiet students have nothing to say? ChatGPT can provide
an opportunity for these students to speak up with confidence without feeling
awkward because they have not understood the lesson, the task, or the assignment.
