Prompt

    Help me write discussion questions.

The text or topic (paste it, name it, or describe it): {{text_or_topic}}
Grade level and subject: {{grade_and_subject}}
What I want the discussion to do (build comprehension, spark debate, connect to their lives, deepen analysis): {{goal}}

Please give me a set of questions in layers:
- **Comprehension / entry** questions everyone can answer to get into it.
- **Analysis** questions that push students to interpret, compare, or dig into evidence and reasoning.
- **Open / evaluative** questions with no single right answer — the kind that fuel real discussion and let students take positions.
- A couple of **connection** questions linking it to students' experiences or the wider world.

Keep them open-ended (not yes/no), genuinely thought-provoking, and appropriate for the grade level. If the topic touches sensitive or controversial ground, frame the questions to invite respectful, balanced discussion rather than to inflame. If you're working from a text you only partly know, say what you're unsure about so I can check it. If the topic is unclear, ask.
