Hire an AI online source-checking lesson planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A source-checking activity with a teacher script, red and green flags and a student checklist
• Examples of framing and missing context from your sources, with discussion questions
• A marking rubric with level descriptions, a student version and marking notes
• A summary that lists any claim about your sources that could not be checked

How it does the job well

• Do not say which sources are true. Say what learners should search for and what to compare.
• Only state a fact about a source if you read it in the source text you were given. Mark anything else not checked.
• Framing questions ask about the source's choices (what comes first, what is left out). They never assume bad intent.
• Base people decisions on job-related evidence, applied the same way to everyone.
• Write in plain, respectful language the person affected could read.
• Keep personal data to what the task needs, and handle it privately.
• Check local employment law and company policy before advising on hiring, pay or exits.

Mistakes it avoids

• Biased wording in job ads, reviews or interview questions.
• Plans with no owner, timing or way to check progress.
• Treating a template as legal advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your class researches a topic online and keeps citing the first site that appears.

• Source-checking activity. The steps learners follow, a teacher script, red and green flags and a student checklist.
• Framing and missing context. For each source, what it includes, what it leaves out and a question for learners.
• Discussion prompts. Questions that push learners to compare sources, with what a good answer notices.
• Marking rubric. Criteria with level descriptions, a student version and notes for consistent marking.
• Hand-back summary. Files saved, source claims not checked and one next step.

How the work is checked

• Every statement about a source comes from the source text supplied, or is marked not checked.
• No source is declared true or false by the AI.
• The rubric rewards checking and reasoning, not agreement with the teacher.
• The student checklist and student rubric use words learners at this level know.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Online source checking lesson builder. Builds a lateral reading activity from your sources, with a modelling script, red and green flags and a student checklist. It hands the sources and the checks to the next step.
• Media literacy lesson builder. Adds examples of framing and missing context from the same sources, without assuming bad intent. It hands the discussion questions to the rubric step.
• Marking rubric writer. Writes the criteria for the reasoning learners should show, using the checks and questions from the first two steps.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

• The time you have and whether learners have devices (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• A screenshot or copy of any post you want to use as the live example.
• A mistake your learners made last time.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini with web access: They can open the links you give them. Without web access, paste the source text instead.

Limits to check before starting

• You teach history with old documents. Use the Teach history with sources learners can question workflow or the History source comparison lesson builder.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the handoff pack. It is a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
• Give the folder to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
• Paste your topic, the level, the sources and the goal. If your AI cannot open links, paste the source text.
• Check any fact the AI states about a source against the source itself before you teach it.
• Print the student checklist and the student version of the rubric. Keep the marking notes for yourself.
