How can we harness the power of Generative AI to deepen student engagement with reading? Join us for a practical, high-utility workshop based on a pioneering project launched for SEND students during the National Year of Reading.
This session introduces a proven methodology where pupils transition from passive readers to “prompt engineers”. By crafting high-quality, descriptive prompts for AI tools like Gemini or Grok, students are challenged to bring scenes and characters from their favourite literature to life.
Why Attend?
- Learn how this model requires pupils to engage critically with texts, extracting subtle nuances and vocabulary to create effective visual outputs.
- Discover how to build essential AI literacy and general IT skills within a creative, curriculum-linked framework.
- Explore the results of recent staff and pupil trials, showcasing the high-quality outputs achievable through precise descriptive writing.
