Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

AI is a technology that allows machines to analyze information, learn from data and make decisions, and perform tasks normally done by humans. 
Applications like Netflix, TikTok, and Spotify use AI to provide recommendations based on our past choices. 
Google Maps and Waze use AI to suggest routes based on the real-time information they have access to.

Generative AI is a relatively new subcategory of AI that specializes in generating content (images, music, text, etc.) often imitating human style. This technology is used by applications like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Midjourney, and DALL-E. Students using generative AI is leading to questions about plagiarism at school.

C3 — Introduction: The Thesis Statement

Points to Remember

a2661 - MODS 001

001-text + bold titles

Read your Preparation Booklet beforehand    
Many students rush head first into evaluations without preparation. Make sure you read and write down personal opinions about the texts you’ve read in class in your Preparation Booklet.

Relax!    
It might seem simple, but breathing deeply and slowly before starting a stressful task like this one is very helpful. Try it!

Listen    
During the discussion, your fellow students will mention details and information that you might be able to reuse. Reformulate it to add to the conversation or to ask pertinent questions. Keep your ears open!

Repeat or reformulate    
Repeating or reformulating can be a powerful tool to gain some time so you can organize your thoughts before telling others your opinion on the subject at hand.

Ask clarifying questions    
Don’t hesitate to interrupt the speaker to ask a clarifying question, it shows that you are paying attention. It also gives the opportunity for your teammates to reformulate their thoughts. It’s a win-win situation for all of you! !

Pause and think    
Silence is golden. When used properly, a pause will make people pay attention to what you are about to say. Make sure you do not overdo it, or that you do not pause for too long, because it can become a double-edged sword. Your listeners can lose interest.

Organize your thoughts    
When you are expressing your opinion, it can be useful to list in your mind 1 or 2 main points you want to elaborate on. This can be done in combination with the Pause and think strategy. This way your ideas are clear and organized.

 

See the official Ministry Rubric for the C1 Evaluation.

Repeating or reformulating can be a powerful tool to gain some time so you can organize your thoughts before telling others your opinion on the subject at hand.

Ask clarifying questions

Don’t hesitate to interrupt the speaker to ask a clarifying question, it shows that you are paying attention. It also gives the opportunity for your teammates to reformulate their thoughts. It’s a win-win situation for all of you! !

Pause and think

Silence is golden. When used properly, a pause will make people pay attention to what you are about to say. Make sure you do not overdo it, or that you do not pause for too long, because it can become a double-edged sword. Your listeners can lose interest.

Organize your thoughts

When you are expressing your opinion, it can be useful to list in your mind 1 or 2 main points you want to elaborate on. This can be done in combination with the Pause and think strategy. This way your ideas are clear and organized.
