The Socratic Way of Prompting gives your class a simple, repeatable method for using AI with curiosity and care.
Designed for students aged 17 to 22, in school, college or university.
Assign one chapter a week. Students then apply Ask, Challenge, Test, Refine to a real question from your subject.
Students swap a weak prompt and a Socratic one, then discuss which answer taught them more and why.
Use the ethics and verification chapter to build a checking routine into assignments, from source checks to reflection notes.
They learn to question assumptions, including their own, and to build arguments rather than collect answers.
They use AI as a thinking partner, check what it says, and stay clearly the author of their own work.
The method works across subjects, tools and careers, so it keeps its value as AI keeps changing.
