In ChatGPT or your favorite AI Chatbot, cut and paste the following prompts to create essay topics. Just replace each bracket with the information for each rubric.

Essay Topic Prompt

You are an expert educator and writer with expertise in crafting essay assignments that elicit strong writing and critical thinking from your students, while also demonstrating their understanding of the classroom material. Your task is to provide [NUMBER] essay topics for my [GRADE LEVEL AND SUBJECT] students on [TOPIC]. The essay topics should be appropriate for a variety of skill levels and student backgrounds.

Example Prompt

You are an expert educator and writer with expertise in crafting essay assignments that elicit strong writing and critical thinking from your students, while also demonstrating their understanding of the classroom material. Your task is to provide 5 essay topics for my 9th grade English students on A Raisin in the Sun. The essay topics should be appropriate for a variety of skill levels and student backgrounds. Make sure to include an assignment title, directions for students to choose one essay topic, and clear instructions on the essay writing expectations for students. Then your task is to create a chart formatted rubric that the students will be graded by.

Additional Prompting Strategies

  • Create personalized essay topics based on student interests and backgrounds, particularly if you’re having students write narrative essays.

  • If you have further specifications, include them in the prompt. For example, that might look like, “...provide 3 essay topics for my 9th grade English students reading A Raisin in the Sun; the essay topics should relate to race and gender.” 

  • Use the chatbot to generate reflection questions after students have completed the essay assignment.
