Step 1 — choose your format and your reader

Field My choice
Format (poster / leaflet / video script / web page / other)  
My reader (“someone who trusts chatbots too much”)  

Step 2 — plan the four parts

Part 1 — How it works (Lesson 1). My own-words explanation (draft one sentence): My predictable-word example: “____________” My not-predictable example: “____________”

Part 2 — When it lies beautifully (Lesson 2). Claim types I will list: ____________ The fact-check I did myself: claim ________ source ______ what I found ________

Part 3 — Who it might leave out (Lesson 3). The group misjudged: ______ What in the training data could cause it: ____________

Part 4 — My rules (Lesson 4). Copy your two rules from the rules handout — shortened: Rule 1: ____________ Rule 2: ____________

Step 3 — word budget

200–300 words total (or 90 seconds spoken). Sketch the split: Part 1: __ words · Part 2: __ · Part 3: __ · Part 4: __ (≈ 50 each works)

Step 4 — self-check before you submit

Tick each line once it is true:

  • ☐ Everything is in my own words (no lesson text copied back)
  • ☐ My fact-check names a real source I actually opened
  • ☐ My fairness example and its cause match each other
  • ☐ Each rule has a reason
  • ☐ Honest tone: makes the reader smarter, not scared
  • ☐ My last line says whether — and how — AI helped me make the guide
