Make a concept map of a topic
This prompt turns a topic into a concept map written as an outline, with the links between ideas labelled, such as causes or is a type of. It adds the connections students often get wrong and five questions to test your understanding.
Help me understand how the ideas in [TOPIC] connect. Level: [e.g. Class 12 / first-year university] My syllabus or notes (optional): [PASTE] Create a concept map as an indented outline: the central idea, the main branches and the key terms under each. Label how the ideas link (causes, is a type of, leads to, opposes). Then list the three connections students most often get wrong, and give me five questions that test whether I understand the links rather than just the definitions.
Redraw the map by hand from memory the next day. That is where the learning happens.
