Find a \\[type of genre: newspaper article, news video, social media post, infographic, blog\\] about \\[socio-scientific issue, e.g. plastic pollution in oceans\\] that I can use in a \\[subject, e.g. Biology / Geography / History\\] lesson.

\n

The subject-specific learning goal is that students \\[Bloom's verb + curriculum-aligned goal, e.g. analyse the greenhouse effect on ecosystems\\].

\n

The example should include the manipulation feature \\[e.g. emotional appeal / biased framing / logical fallacy / omission / fabrication / visual manipulation\\].

\n

The chosen meta-scientific literacy outcome is \\[e.g. Identify deceptive tactics\\]. Students should practise \\[HOW Dimension / pedagogical use, e.g. spotting omissions and misrepresentation in media claims\\].

\n

The material should be \\[age group, e.g. suitable for 14–16-year-olds\\], \\[language, e.g. in English\\], and be \\[short, accessible, reliable but with manipulable features\\].

Example Prompts

\n
\n
\n\n

Find a news article about genetically modified crops and food security that I can use in a Biology lesson. The subject-specific learning goal is that students evaluate the risks and benefits of genetic modification in agriculture. The example should include the manipulation feature biased framing. The chosen meta-scientific literacy outcome is Differentiate between opinions and empirical claims. Students should practise highlighting statements that are evidence-based vs. opinion-based. The material should be suitable for 15–17-year-olds, in English, and be short, accessible, and from a credible but biased outlet.

\n\n

Find a social media post about climate protests that I can use in an English lesson. The subject-specific learning goal is that students analyse persuasive language devices in authentic texts. The example should include the manipulation feature emotional appeal. The chosen meta-scientific literacy outcome is Identify manipulation.
Students should practise spotting emotionally charged vocabulary and how it shapes readers' opinions. The material should be suitable for 16–18-year-olds, in English, and be short, accessible, and from a credible but opinionated outlet.
