Try a general AI assistant

Copy this prompt into your AI assistant. Adjust it for your class and check the result.

Plan a CLIL lesson on checking a hotel delivery against an order for VET hospitality learners working at approximately A2–B1 in English. Keep the content goal central: identify and explain delivery discrepancies. Include a short source text, key vocabulary, a sentence frame, a pair task and an assessment aligned with that goal. State assumptions and ask me to verify all food-safety requirements against the applicable local procedures. Do not include personal student information.

Follow up: “Check that the task and assessment match the content goal. Identify unsupported claims and missing information before revising.”
