Explain this project and some prompts and sample question answers which will generate the full story as mentioned in the project:

Brief Description

We intend to use the story SUPERabled about a girl in a wheelchair who finds her power by being directed to think about what her strengths are and what makes her unique (distillation attached) as a model for students to generate their own stories.

AI is used to help expedite the generation of the story and offer some limited exposure to a large language model chatbot in order for students to experience both a personalized story and one generated in a collaborative way with a small group of students* or an entire classroom. (*new idea...what do you think?)

Students are asked a series of prompts which are used by the LLM to generate a new story using their answers to produce the arc of the story (include a distilled sample with our explanation?). These prompts may be answered as a class or small group or individually. Students then read the new story and then answer reflective questions about both, or all three stories. 

The expected outcome is that the reframing of disability in the stories and the reflections on the story reading will help to explain feelings of empathy and compassion for the main characters. Questions such as "Why does Louisa feel bad in the beginning of the story?" "What made her begin to feel better?" "Why is it important for Louisa to feel valuable?" address the importance of the feeling of belonging, connection with others in community, and self-esteem and how it forms.

Renaming or reframing disability as SUPERability strives to affirm diversity; its existence and benefits. 

For the prototyping first phase, we intend qualitative semi-structured interviews for students and the teachers and aides who supervise the students on the use and effectiveness of the tool. For the second phase, we will include required survey questions built into the tool that students can answer. These questions will be asked by an avatar chatbot before they generate new stories and students' answers will be recorded. Questions will be asked afterwards as well. All of the recorded data will be analyzed and compared. 

Establishing that this story generating method is effective in reframing disability and helping students to make cognitive connections between feelings of empathy and compassion with generating connection and creating belonging for all students is a challenge. We welcome suggestions and ideas for how to accomplish this. [Jen, what else are we seeking help on? I have generated my 5 questions and will send you them once you tell me you've generated yours!]

Evaluating the lasting nature of outcomes may only be accomplished by returning to classroom weeks later to survey students again. This may not be practical. 


Questions for Interviews with Special Needs Teachers
1.	Understanding the SUPERabled project, to what group of students do you think it’s best suited for? What type of special needs do you think would be best suited for us to begin our testing phase?
2.	What do you think about a collaborative classroom application of SUPERabled where the class works on writing a story modelled after the main story together? Do you think that would well?
3.	What age group or reading level do you think is best suited for this application? (e.g., 4th, 5th)
4.	Do you think there is a need for a teacher, aid, or facilitator to work with the student one on one when using SUPERabled?
5.	Do you have any concerns about young students using SUPERabled after reading the story?
 
 
Statement of Work for Developers
Front end: 
The design of the UX/UI will be the responsibility of another team. 
Back end: 
Set up the API to ChatGPT or Claude AI to generate the new story based on the students inputs. 
Develop a metrics system to organize themes, codes, and other demographic data. 
Develop the storage of usage recordings of students inputs for research purposes. 
Develop the storage of voice recordings of students responses before or after using the tool for research purposes.
Limit the LLM to avoid unintended consequences (?).
