The purpose of this week's session is to teach students to focus on prompt writing. A secondary goal will teach students how to use the tools available to check ChatGPT for accuracy.

Dao, Eric, Aries, and myself will supply the theme sentences for each run of ChatGPT; students will supply the prompts.

Students will prompt ChatGPT to write paragraphs using our vocabulary lists at igee2016.com.

Students will refine the answers that ChatGPT produces by writing and refining their prompts.

This process of refinement will continue until the student is satisfied that ChatGPT produced a result that matches the intention of the student given in the prompt.
