Two 1.5-hour sessions
A script for a beginner group, online or in person, with a deliverable at the end of each session. The times are the script’s proposal: they have not yet been measured with a group.
Session 1: from interest to evidence
Section titled “Session 1: from interest to evidence”They leave with: a content proposal with topic, audience, problem, goal and evidence.
| Time | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 10 min | Why write about what you tested, even as a beginner | Facilitator |
| 10 to 20 min | Live demo: mission 3, steps 1 and 2 | Facilitator |
| 20 to 30 min | Each person picks a mission from the menu and writes the hypothesis | Group |
| 30 to 65 min | Pair testing: one person tests, the other takes notes | Pairs |
| 65 to 80 min | Three pairs show what the AI got right or wrong | Group |
| 80 to 90 min | Explain the homework | Facilitator |
Homework: finish the mission and fill in the five fields. A rough draft is fine: what matters is having a direction.
Session 2: from evidence to article
Section titled “Session 2: from evidence to article”They leave with: an article in advanced draft, and publishing as homework.
| Time | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to 10 min | What makes an article useful: title, test, result and limit | Facilitator |
| 10 to 45 min | Write the draft from the evidence, without AI | Group |
| 45 to 60 min | Review with AI: it points out gaps, and the person rewrites | Group |
| 60 to 80 min | Swap in pairs: can another person repeat it from the text alone? | Pairs |
| 80 to 90 min | Checklist and where to publish | Facilitator |
Homework: publish the article on a public page, under your own name, and share the link.
Review prompt for the group
Section titled “Review prompt for the group”Review my article without rewriting it. In this order:1. What could another person not repeat from this text alone?2. Which number or claim has no test or source?3. Does the article say something the test does not prove?For each point, quote the sentence and ask me a question.If the demo fails
Section titled “If the demo fails”Say that it failed. All the missions work without an account in steps 1 to 3, and the real outputs are published, so you can show them labeled as a recording.
Before the session
Section titled “Before the session”- Send mission 1 to anyone who wants to create an account beforehand.
- Let people know that nobody needs a card or an account to follow along.
- Agree on a channel to ask questions and share links.
- Rehearse the demo and time it.
