The big idea
More teachers now want to see your AI conversation as part of the assignment. Documenting your prompts shows you used it as a tool, not a ghostwriter.
Some examples
- Screenshot your prompt and the AI response together.
- Keep a 'process doc' alongside your final paper.
- Note where you took AI suggestions and where you didn't.
- Showing your process protects you from cheating accusations.
Try it!
On your next AI-assisted assignment, create a 'process.docx' next to your essay with your top 5 prompts pasted in.
