Description

Students often struggle with traditional reading approaches, leading to superficial understanding and disengagement. This session demonstrates how generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, can inspire student engagement with critical societal themes such as equity, prejudice, and class division. Using The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton as a foundational text, we explore strategies to connect literature with interdisciplinary materials and current events. The result is a dynamic classroom where students actively engage with texts, promoting understanding and academic growth. Attendees will leave with practical tools that leverage AI and encourage creativity, critical thinking, and classroom discussions.
