Created a drag-and-drop interactive task with POE for showing a summary of a reading passage just read

 Step 1: 

In POE, I asked a chatbot to summarize a reading passage into a 5-sentence summary, using one sentence for each paragraph: 

ORIGINAL PASSAGE: 

Hi! Welcome to my webpage! My name is Danny Lee. I'm the Head Prefect, and I'm in S6. I have a younger sister. She's in S2. We both go to this secondary school.

My school life

The subjects I like are English and Physical Education. I'm a member of the school table tennis team. We practise once a week after school in the covered playground. I enjoy making friends. I think the teachers chose me to be the 10 school prefect because I am responsible and hard-working. They trust that I can carry out my duties, and I work hard to finish them. Do you know what prefects do at school?

The prefect team

There are about 60 prefects at our school. We usually greet students in the morning and sometimes help teachers with student problems. We are always 15 ready to help you in the school playground at recess and lunchtime.

My best friends

John Chan and Sally Wong are my best friends. They are the Assistant Head Prefects and they are $5 students. John's sociable and energetic - he likes meeting people and is always full of energy. We often go 20 hiking together. Sally's outgoing too, but she doesn't like sports.

I enjoy my school life very much. I hope you like our school!

MY PROMPT: 

I am an ESL teacher. Below is a reading passage for students to read. Please summarise each paragraph by stating what it is about in one sentence. Begin each sentence with 'The writer'. Give the summary the title 'The Head Prefect'. 

The Passage: ...

(The first output had sentences which were too long to me. I then asked the chatbot to revise by making each sentence more concise.)

SUMMARY OUTPUT: 

The Head Prefect

The writer introduces himself as Danny Lee, the Head Prefect in S6, and mentions his younger sister in S2.

The writer shares his favorite subjects, English and Physical Education, and notes his responsibility and hard work as reasons for being chosen as a prefect.

The writer describes the role of about 60 prefects who greet students and assist teachers.

The writer introduces his best friends, John and Sally, who are Assistant Head Prefects, and highlights their personalities and love for hiking.

The writer expresses enjoyment of school life and hopes others appreciate their school.

+++++++++++

STEP 2

I actually stayed in the chatbot, and asked it to create an interactive drag-and-drop task using the 5 sentences: 

MY PROMPT: 

Now Please turn the 5 sentences into a web-based, interactive, exercise. The students will be shown the 5 sentences in random order. They then use drag-and-drop to put them in the correct order. Then there is a button for them to check their answers. 

OUTPUT:

==============================

OBSERVATIONS

1. The above process does not take much time. 

2. The resulting output can be used to support students' first round of reading the passage.
