Sentence frames from your target vocabulary
Ask AI for ready-to-use speaking and writing frames built only from a word list you supply — support, core, and stretch for the same lesson aim.
Problem
You have this week’s target words, but writing enough cloze frames, oral stems, and stretch sentences for mixed-ability groups eats prep time. You need frames that stick to YOUR list — not random AI vocab or textbook IP.
Who it is for
Hong Kong and Asia primary English NET, LET, and EAL teachers (P1–P6) who want quick speaking/writing scaffolds from a teacher-owned word list.
Steps
- Gather your own target words or topic phrases from your teaching notes — do not paste school private IP or published textbook passages into a public chat.
- Tell the AI the year band, lesson aim (speak / write / both), and how many frames you need at support, core, and stretch.
- Ask for usable stems with blanks or choice banks that force the target words, plus 1–2 model answers per level.
- Check every frame: only your list words as targets, age-appropriate grammar, no pupil names, no content outside your list.
- Copy onto a worksheet, slide, or mini whiteboard routine; adjust wording for your class before you use it.
Sample prompt
EXAMPLE — edit before you use; never paste pupil names
Write sentence frames for primary English (Hong Kong / Asia). Year band: [e.g. P3–P4]. Lesson aim: [e.g. describe healthy habits using this week’s vocabulary] Use ONLY this teacher-supplied list — no extra target words, no textbook passages, no pupil names: WORDS / TARGETS: [e.g. healthy, exercise, vegetable, fruit, sugar, water] OPTIONAL grammar: [e.g. I / We + present simple; because] Make three levels for the SAME aim: - Support: 6 cloze frames with word bank (1 blank each) - Core: 6 oral/writing stems with 1–2 blanks (no full word bank) - Stretch: 4 open stems that force at least two list words + a reason For each frame, add one short model answer. Keep language simple for the year band. After the list, print a checklist of every list word used so I can spot gaps or extras.
Outcome
A draft set of support / core / stretch sentence frames tied to your list — you still verify wording and level fit before class.
Source
Likely Common EAL / ESL scaffolding practice (sentence frames, cloze, oral stems) + AI drafting — not a fake school case study
FAQ
Why is the source Likely not Verified?
It blends well-known classroom sentence-frame and differentiation routines with AI drafting; there is no single official “this school did X” case study here.
Can I paste my school’s word list or textbook pages?
Do not publish private school lists or copyrighted textbook passages on this site or in public chats. Use your own teaching notes privately. This recipe is for teacher-supplied lists only.
How is this different from a Kahoot quiz recipe?
Quiz recipes draft check questions. This one drafts speaking/writing stems and cloze frames so pupils can produce the target language — then you can still quiz later if you want.
