What you’re working towards
Compare a learner-authored teach-back with supplied teaching notes and repair only demonstrated misunderstandings. The worked result is a written example for practice; the AI steps have not been tested.

Make a start
One step at a time.
3 steps
Start with the synthetic worked example or other non-sensitive inputs. Run one prompt at a time in your chosen AI tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with the requested material, check each reply, and supply the source or earlier outputs that step needs. Paste them again if the tool lacks that context.
Start with the synthetic example, then adapt each prompt to your task.
01
Open a chat and paste the example
Open https://chatgpt.com and choose New chat. Copy every line under Input in this guide into the message box. Then add the prompt below (the instructions telling the assistant what to do) and send both together. Expect a written response shaped like the example under Output. The wording may differ. If the assistant asks for information already in the input, point to that line; if a necessary fact is missing, keep it unknown rather than guessing.
Your starting prompt
Compare the learner’s teach-back with the complete supplied source above. Identify no more than three precise misunderstandings, quoting the relevant short learner phrase and giving a source-grounded correction. Then offer a two-sentence corrected explanation. Stay within the source and do not grade the learner as a person.
02
Check the specific result
Look for the three concrete errors: creation of new water, vapour defined as droplets, and always/every overstatement. The corrected answer must define vapour as gas and keep the conditional wording. Compare it with the Input yourself. If the response fails a check, paste the correction prompt below into the same chat. Recheck the corrected version before saving it.
Your starting prompt
Recheck the three corrections against the source. Remove any extra weather claim or absolute promise. Make the replacement explanation exactly two sentences and preserve where the water comes from.
03
Try it with your own example
Open a new chat. Copy the prompt below, then replace [PASTE YOUR INPUT HERE] with your own non-sensitive facts and rules. Include the kinds of details listed under Requirements. Send the whole message. Expect the same kind of result as this guide, using your values. Compare every name, number and rule with your input. If something differs, point to the exact mismatch and ask for a corrected complete answer. Save only a version you have checked.
Your starting prompt
Compare my explanation with the supplied source below. Identify at most three specific misunderstandings. Quote a short phrase from my explanation for each and give a source-grounded correction. Then offer a two-sentence corrected explanation. Stay within the source and do not judge me as a person.
Use only the new input below. If a fact needed to finish is missing, ask me for it before choosing an answer.
MY INPUT
[PASTE YOUR INPUT HERE]
Optional: improve the result
Check a second teach-back
Have the learner try again and ask the assistant to respond only to remaining gaps. This extension uses the worked example. Return to that example chat, or paste its input and your checked example answer into a new chat first. Do not apply its sample values unchanged to your own input.
Advanced prompt
I will paste a second explanation next. Compare it with the same source, identify only misunderstandings still present, and ask one short question that lets me repair them myself. If it is faithful, say so without inventing a new flaw.

01 / The starting point
Synthetic input
Made-up example for practice.
Made-up learning source about condensation: Water vapour is water in gas form. If air near a cool surface loses enough heat, some water vapour can change into liquid droplets on that surface. The droplets come from water already present in the air, not from the surface creating water. The source does not say condensation happens on every cool surface.
Learner’s teach-back: “The cold glass makes new water. Water vapour is tiny liquid drops floating in the air, and every cold surface always becomes wet.”
Request: identify at most three specific misunderstandings, explain each using the supplied source, then write a corrected explanation in two sentences. Do not add a larger weather lesson.
Copies text only. For image or file tasks, use the source files named in the steps too.
Written example for practice; not a recorded AI response.
Three specific corrections
1. “Makes new water” is incorrect: the source says the water was already present in the air.
2. “Water vapour is tiny liquid drops” is incorrect: the source defines vapour as water in gas form.
3. “Every cold surface always becomes wet” overstates the source: the change depends on the nearby air losing enough heat; the source makes no every-surface promise.
Corrected two-sentence explanation
Water vapour is water in gas form already present in the air. When air near a cool surface loses enough heat, some of that vapour can become liquid droplets on the surface.
Next learner action: explain the idea again in your own words without copying these two sentences.
These checks use the worked example and its particular facts. With your own material, check your actual names, numbers, sources and rules; do not reuse the sample’s values as the answer.
Unsaved checks stay in this tab and reset when you reload. If you choose Save guide, its current example checkmarks are kept in this browser when storage is available.

A few things to watch for.
A smooth rewrite can hide what the learner misunderstood. Ask for targeted feedback before the replacement explanation.
Do not let the tutor expand beyond the source when the exercise is about that source’s meaning.
