A practical first workflow
Explain one technical passage clearly while preserving what the author did and did not claim.
Have this ready
Choose an accessible paper and identify one confusing paragraph rather than an entire topic.
- Upload the permitted research paper and locate the paragraph to examine.
- Highlight a short passage and request a plain-language explanation.
- Adjust the explanation’s complexity if needed and ask about one unfamiliar term.
- Ask a follow-up about a qualifying word such as “associated,” then reread the original paragraph.
- Write your own two-sentence paraphrase and retain the original paper and passage location.
You’ll have: A clearer passage explanation and a source-attributed paraphrase.
Try this example
Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.
Explain the selected passage for a teacher new to this field. Define its main technical term and explain why “associated with” does not necessarily mean “caused by.” Keep the author’s uncertainty.
Check your result before sharing
Check technical definitions, negation and uncertainty. Revisit the paper if the explanation adds facts or changes the strength of its claim.
Simplified explanations can lose qualifications; compare them with the highlighted passage and its context.
Other activities to explore
- Unpack one dense research sentence without losing its qualifications.
- Create a checked glossary of terms used in a particular paper.
