I had chatGPT help me with an argument essay- something that all seniors have to do at the end of English 12 (and in other English classes throughout their educational careers). I first prompted it "What are some main arguments for a four day work week?" and it provided them in list form. I then asked "What are some counterarguments?" This allows students to see both sides first before taking a stance. I even then asked whether it can be gender stereotypical just to add in a layer, and it provided information on how it can reinforce gender roles and provide disparities- this was something that brings twelfth grade students to dig deeper into just a simply argument topic.
I have rethought the way students can use bots like ChatGPT to help them start processes, and help brainstorm in a quick way. I actually plan on allowing them to do this in my next unit, which is their final paper. I figure students are trying to use it for dishonest reasons, and teaching them to use it to ENHANCE instead of do their work might help them rethink it too.
