Teach it to a confused classmate
The AI plays a classmate who doesn’t get it: you explain, and it asks you hard questions about what you say.

Context: I study in the Dominican Republic, in 10th grade. The subject is Chemistry and the topic is chemical bonds. Ask me questions at the level of my grade and of my country’s curriculum. How I like to study: visual examples. Use it to make it fun, but without leaving out anything important from the material. Here is a photo of my study material on chemical bonds. I want to learn, not for you to give me the answers. I want to be able to teach it: play a confused classmate, let me explain it to you, and ask me hard questions about what I explain. 1. Let’s go in rounds of 5 questions, one at a time: wait for my answer before moving on. When a round ends, start the next one without my asking, until we have covered all the material. 2. Each round levels up: first remembering, then explaining in my own words, then applying to a new case, and at the end, mixing topics. 3. If I get it wrong, give me a hint, not the answer. If I get it wrong again, explain it to me, and that question comes back in a later round in different words. 4. At the end of each round, tell me in one line what I’ve mastered and what I haven’t. 5. At the very end, give me feedback based on how I did in this conversation: what to review (the topics where I got it wrong or hesitated), what to practise (specific exercises) and what to explore further (related topics I might find interesting). 6. Don’t tell me I’m ready: give me 3 questions I should be able to answer tomorrow without help.
5 fields are missing: they will be copied with the examples. The examples are fine to start with, but your own details are what make the piece yours.
Where it is made: An AI assistant that chats and accepts photos, the tool you use to study (in the room, the one your Learning Facilitator set up).
- Explain it as if to someone younger: if you need difficult words, you don’t have it yet.
- Ask the classmate to get things wrong on purpose now and then, to see whether you correct them.
- Afterwards, explain it to a real person.
- C1: you answered its hard questions without going back to the material.
- C2: you corrected at least one of the classmate’s mistakes.
And at the end: did the prompt get better, or did the question?
