Created a vocab-hover-tooltip reading passage with POE and Canva AI

 In my previous attempt, I asked Perplexity to create the HTML code which I then used in POE's Create Canvas app, and then with Canva AI. 

Both apps succeeded. But POE created an interactive page which spanned across the whole screen. Canva AI did a better job. 

Then, i thought 'why don't I just use a normal prompt directly to get POE and Canva AI to create that hover tooltip passage. 


PROMPT

Create an interactive app that helps ESL students understand the passage below. There are 7 words in the passage that the ESL students may not understand. While reading, If they do not understand one of those 7 words, they will hover their cursor over the word, and then the meaning will pop up.

The passage:
A huge farm in northern Hong Kong was submerged in around three hours during Typhoon Wipha, causing about 70,000 sunflowers to wilt and leaving a 73-year-old farmer with six-figure losses.

Leung Yat-shun, a farmer at Shun Sum Yuen farm in San Tin, said on Saturday that he and three colleagues had spent about 10 weeks to grow tens of thousands of sunflowers to shoulder height, but their efforts were in vain within hours of Typhoon Wipha hitting the city last weekend.

“During the typhoon, the flood rose rapidly, reaching chest level in around three hours. The water was so rapid that I could not enter the farms and could only watch [the sunflowers flood],” he said.

Leung said the farm had suffered six-figure Hong Kong dollar losses, but it was difficult to calculate the exact amount.

The flower farm, near the border with mainland China, makes a large part of Leung’s income by charging visitors a fee of HK$50 (US$6.40) to enter and take pictures.

The 7 words which they may not understand: submerge, wilt, colleague, flood, suffer, calculate, border
