class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8141\"><p>Upload your film review draft to a large language model (LLM\u2014e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\/\">Claude<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/\">Gemini<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/\">ChatGPT<\/a>) and write a variety of prompts asking it to analyze your draft and offer feedback and recommendations for revision. It would probably be a good idea to provide the LLM with some context about the assignment as well.<\/p><p>Here are some sample prompts to get you started. You don\u2019t need to use all of these, and you should write additional prompts of your own that address what you think your draft needs most.<\/p><ul><li>Does my opening draw the reader in? How could I make it more engaging?<\/li><li>Can a reader tell what I think about the film within the first few paragraphs, or is my\u00a0judgment unclear?<\/li><li>Does my review sound like something you\u2019d find in <em>The New York Times<\/em>, or does it sound more like an academic essay? Point to specific passages that feel too academic or too casual.<\/li><li>Am I assessing multiple elements of the film\u2014such as performances, direction, cinematography, editing, or music\u2014or am I leaning too heavily on just one?<\/li><li>Find a place where I make a\u00a0claim about the film\u2019s merit without backing it up with reference to a specific moment or detail. How could I strengthen that passage?<\/li><li>Does my review situate the film in any broader context\u2014the director\u2019s other work, its genre, current cultural conversations? If not, where might that kind of context fit naturally?<\/li><li>Describe how my review moves from one point to the next. Does the structure feel logical, or do some paragraphs feel like isolated observations?<\/li><li>Does my conclusion do more than restate what I\u2019ve already said? Does it leave the reader with a strong final impression?<\/li><li>Look at my title. Does it include the film\u2019s title and a subtitle that reflects my perspective on it? What are some other potential titles?<\/li><li>Do I have any grammatical errors? If so, can you identify them and tell me how to fix them\u2014and how to avoid\u00a0those types of errors in the future?<\/li><\/ul><p>A word of caution:\u00a0Don\u2019t uncritically accept every response the LLM gives you. It may offer advice that would make your review worse rather than better. You are the author; the LLM is only a sounding board, and an imperfect one at that.<\/p><p>Revise and edit your review based on the\u00a0feedback from the LLM that you find useful. Before the end of today\u2019s class, we will have a think-pair-share exercise in which you reflect individually on the experience of working with the LLM, then\u00a0share your thoughts with a partner, then discuss them with the entire class.<\/p><p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Assignment adapted from Antonio Byrd\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/wacclearinghouse.org\/repository\/collections\/textgened\/rhetorical-engagements\/using-llms-as-peer-reviewers-for-revising-essays\/\">Using LLMs as Peer Reviewers for Revising Essays<\/a>,\u201d <em>TextGenEd<\/em>, edited by Annette Vee, Tim Laquintano, and Carly Schnitzler, The WAC Clearinghouse, 2023.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-8142\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8142\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Acceptable and Unacceptable Uses of AI<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8142\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8142\"><p>In small groups, develop a proposal for guidelines on acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI (such as Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT) when writing essays in this and similar classes.

Your presentation should walk us through the writing process stage by stage, making clear what\u2019s acceptable, what\u2019s not, and why.
