Is it a good fit for your task?
Choose it when…
Teacher preparation for close reading of a public report or historical document.
Consider another approach when…
Checking outside facts or attributing motives that the supplied document does not establish.
A practical first workflow
Prepare questions that distinguish textual evidence from unsupported inference.
Have this ready
Select one public PDF with readable text and note its title, date and page numbering.
- Upload the single PDF and confirm the displayed document is the intended edition.
- Ask for three answerable reading questions with answers tied to source locations.
- Open each answer citation in the side-by-side document and read the full passage.
- Ask one deliberately unanswerable question and check whether the response acknowledges the document’s limit.
- Rewrite the reviewed questions and answer key yourself, recording PDF and printed page numbers where they differ.
You’ll have: A checked reading-question set plus one explicit example of a document’s evidential limit.
Try this example
Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.
Use only the attached public museum report. Draft three questions about the stated purpose of the exhibition, with answer locations. Then ask one question about visitor reactions that this report cannot answer. Do not supply outside facts.
Check your result before sharing
Check that every cited passage supports the exact answer. AI can overlook evidence or invent a connection; consult other sources separately when needed.
Limit the activity to a permitted document; verify each citation and do not treat missing information as proof.
Other activities to explore
- Draft document-based questions from one public source.
- Test whether an answer is supported, inferred or absent from the supplied text.

This workflow is an editorial suggestion based on documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim of learning gains. Check school approval, current pricing, and student account eligibility before a classroom rollout. Use public or permitted samples and keep identifiable student information out of unapproved services.
