I like how the teacher was able to use ChatGPT to generate an email to a parent regarding a reluctant reader who is not getting their reading assignments completed. It was interesting that she was able to continually hone her original request, making it more and more specific and personalized. When she first tried, ChatGPT crafted an email in the proper format, using many of the terms a reading teacher would employ. This was a useful starting point.
The teacher continued on to specify the grade level and genre interests of the student. This was very helpful to her, because it came up with a list of recommended reading, along with book titles, authors, and a summary of each one. This is such a time-saver! I could easily spend an hour just researching possible titles before I even begin writing the actual email. ChatGPT was able to complete this in just a few minutes, with the teacher reviewing the outcome to make it a better fit for the particular situation. It was as if she and her assistant were brainstorming and writing together.
