Scenario: A student submits work AI wrote word-for-word. Another uses AI to get feedback, then rewrites it themselves. Who should get the credit? Class debate — 2 minutes.

•The spectrum: from "AI did it" (not OK) to "AI gave me an idea I developed" (fine)
•AI as a writing coach: ask for feedback, not for the answer
•Useful AI feedback prompts: "What's unclear?", "What's the weakest argument?", "Suggest a stronger opening"
•AI use statement: what you asked, what it said, what YOU changed
•Why this matters: skills you outsource, you lose

Students take a piece of writing they've done recently (any subject — their own words). (1) Submit their work AND a structured feedback prompt ("Act as a GCSE English teacher — give me 3 specific improvements for this paragraph…") through the lesson's AI Task assignment. The teacher clicks "Run all pending through AI" and the AI feedback is returned to each student (under-13 safe — students never call a live AI). (2) Read the returned feedback critically — is it useful? Is anything wrong? (3) Rewrite the paragraph themselves using the useful feedback. (4) Write their AI use statement. Compare before/after.

🤖 AI Angle

The culmination of Unit B — AI as a tool for human growth, used safely through the teacher. Students submit their work and a feedback prompt; the teacher batch-runs them through the AI and returns feedback to each student. No under-13 student ever touches a live AI service.

Before/after writing comparison + AI use statement

📚 Homework

Draft a feedback prompt and choose a piece of your own work to improve for another subject. Write the AI use statement you would attach. Bring both to next lesson to submit at the Teacher AI Station.

♿ Differentiation

Support (for students who need help)

Pre-written prompts for the feedback conversation — students just paste their text

Extension (for advanced learners)

Design a classroom "AI use policy" poster that explains when AI use is and isn't appropriate in school.

👨‍🏫 Teacher Notes

Set this up as an "AI Task" assignment (Teacher dashboard → class → New assignment → AI Task). Students submit their work and prompt; click "Run all pending through AI" to return feedback to the whole class at once. Works best if students bring actual homework from another subject — coordinate with form tutors or other departments if possible.
