Examples

Below are sample artifacts and deliverables that this workflow can produce. They are illustrative examples—realistic but generic—so you can see what each phase yields. Adapt the ideas to your subject and grade level; educator review and revision still matter for every item.

Sample deliverables

Regents-style assessment blueprint

After analyzing a released exam, the workflow produces a short style reference. This example summarizes question types and command language so prompts stay aligned.

• Part I: Multiple choice (1 pt each); command verbs: Identify, Describe, Explain
• Part II: Constructed response; require citation or reference to stimulus
• Stimulus: 1–2 short passages or data sets per cluster
• Lexile and phrasing: Align to grade-band expectations; avoid ambiguous wording
• Scoring: Rubric language consistent with state exemplars

Sample workflow prompt

A concrete prompt you might use when asking the AI to generate draft questions. The prompt ties the request to your style reference and curriculum summary.

Using the attached style reference and curriculum summary for Unit 4:

Generate 5 multiple-choice questions that:
- Use command verbs from the style reference (e.g., Identify, Explain).
- Assess only content listed in the curriculum summary.
- Include one plausible distractor and three non-plausible distractors per item.
- Are written at [grade band] reading level.

Do not add topics that are not in the curriculum summary.

Sample question-cluster concept

Instead of one-off questions, the workflow can target "clusters"—a stimulus plus several items that reference it. This example describes one cluster before drafting.

Stimulus: Short excerpt from a primary source (2–3 paragraphs) on [topic].

Target skills: Sourcing, contextualization, evidence-based inference.

Planned items: (1) Main idea; (2) Author purpose; (3) One inference supported by the text. All items must be answerable only using the stimulus and the taught curriculum.

Visual stimulus descriptor example

When you supply the image or passage yourself, you can give the AI a short descriptor so it generates questions that match the stimulus. The AI does not create the visual; it uses your description to stay accurate.

Stimulus type: Map (regional, circa [era]).

Visible elements: Borders of [region], key cities A and B, trade route marked with dashed line, legend for symbols.

Use this descriptor when prompting: "Generate 2 questions that refer only to the map elements described above. Do not reference any locations or features not listed."

Quality-control review example

During cross-validation, you check each draft against the style reference and curriculum summary. This example shows the kind of note you might keep when an item fails a check.

Item: [Draft question text]

Style check: ✓ Command verb matches reference. ✓ Length and format OK.

Curriculum check: ✗ References [concept X] which is not in this unit’s summary. Revise to align to Unit 4 objectives only, or discard.

Action: Revise to remove [concept X] and tie to [listed objective] before including in assessment.

Use as a starting point

These examples are samples, not templates. Your style reference, curriculum summary, and prompts should reflect your actual exam materials and course content. Always review and approve every generated item before use.
