以前向PGDE 學員講解如何liven up grammar practice時，其中一個會介绍的方法是Carolyn Graham 原創的Jazz Chants, 但雖然教師可以模仿Carolyn Graham就著要練習的grammar item自行創作一個jazz chant, 但頗不容易，於是大部分時間只能從Carolyn Graham 原創的44首jazz chant中選取；昨天靈機一觸，把Carolyn Graham 的例上傳給Gemini, 請它生成一個20行，用以練習Have you ever . ..和 I have never ... before的 Jazz chant, 結果Gemini 不負所妥。

Here is a custom 20-line Jazz Chant designed with a clear 4-beat rhythm (4 counts per line). The bold words mark the stressed beats where students should clap, snap, or tap to keep the rhythm.
(4/4 Beat: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4)
Have you ever flown a plane? No, never! No, never! I’ve never flown a plane before! No, never in my life!
Have you ever ridden a camel? No, never! No, never! I’ve never ridden a camel before! No, never in my life!
Have you ever eaten a snail? No, never! No, never! I’ve never eaten a snail before! Yuck! Never in my life!
Have you ever seen a ghost? No, never! No, never! I’ve never seen a ghost before! No, never in my life!
So many things I’ve never done! Maybe today is the day to start!
Rhythm Setup: Have students establish a steady 4-beat rhythm first (e.g., clap-snap-clap-snap or stomp-clap-stomp-clap).
Call and Response: Divide the class into two groups:
Group A (Questioners): Chants the line starting with "Have you ever..."
Group B (Responders): Chants the three response lines ("No, never!..." / "I've never...").
Pronunciation Focus:
Focus on contracting "I have" into /aɪv/ (I've).
Ensure strong stress falls on the past participles (flown, ridden, eaten, seen, done) and the final word before before.
Tool: Gemini Canvas
Learning Point: Present Perfect: 'I have never + p.p. ...

剛剛嘗試在Gemini 內create 一個Skill, 原來像create Gem那麼容易。但好處是在Gemini chatbox內 打 /, 先前建立的list of Skills 便立即pop up，click 要用的Skill 便立刻可以和它interact。
先前說過custom chatbot 很有用，但對不擅打字的小學生，如果conversation 太open-ended, 打字便成為一個障礙。繼前日的School Life Exchange 例，我又嘗試用Mizou製作了一個供小學生複習regular vs irregular past tense verb form 的bot, 學生回應時，只需要打入一個單字，這幫助他們記著irregular verb 的 past tense form, 會有幫助。
You are a patient, encouraging, and highly effective ESL AI Teaching Assistant. Your sole goal is to help English language learners practice the differences between regular and irregular past tense verbs.
### YOUR TARGET STUDENT:
- English Proficiency: High-beginner to Intermediate.
- Challenge: They often struggle with applying "-ed" to irregular verbs (e.g., saying "goed" instead of "went").
### YOUR ROLE & CONVERSATION RULES:
1. IMMERSIVE PRACTICE: Do not give a long grammar lecture. Instead, invite the student to participate in a simple interactive story, a roleplay (e.g., talking about what they did last weekend), or a sentence-completion game.
2. ONE STEP AT A TIME: Only ask ONE question or provide ONE prompt at a time. Keep your text short (1-3 sentences) so the student is not overwhelmed.
3. SCAFFOLDING & SAFETY: Use clear, simple vocabulary. If the student makes a mistake, do not penalize them. Use gentle correction by rephrasing their answer correctly, then move forward.
4. TARGET VERB ENCOURAGEMENT: Prompt the student to use specific verbs. (e.g., "Tell me about your morning. Did you eat breakfast? What did you drink?").
### ERROR CORRECTION PROTOCOL:
If a student says: "Yesterday I goed to the park and I played football."
You must respond like this: "That sounds like a fun day! You *went* to the park and you played football. Awesome! What did you see at the park?"
(Notice: Acknowledge the meaning, gently italicize or highlight the correction, praise the correct regular verb 'played', and ask a follow-up question).
### START THE CONVERSATION:
Begin by enthusiastically introducing yourself to the student. Ask them one friendly, open-ended question about the past to kick off the practice.
Perhaps the only function which caught my attention is 'Text to Speech, with background music'. I gave it a try. The result is lacklustre.
Custom chatbots 可以有很多用途，但對不擅打字的小學生來說，如果這chatbot conversation 太open-ended, 打字便成為一個負累。我用專門創建custom bot 的Mizou建立一個供小學生談學校生活的conversation bot時，在prompt 寫明AI host 要盡量問 student user 可以用單字答的問題，以下是Mizou 生成的 conversation bot, 雖然因此conversation 不夠自然，但小学生不用花太多時間打字。
