JCoT Scenario: Drafting a "Follow-up News Report"

After listening to the original text about the success of the Bio-Nanobots, the teacher leads the class in writing a follow-up report (Update News) together on the whiteboard.

Step 1: Starting with the Headline

Teacher: "We’ve listened to the news about the successful trial in Singapore. Let’s write a follow-up story. What is a good headline?" 

Student : .................................

Teacher: "Good, but remember, there was criticism from ethicists. How about: World Health Organization (WHO) Starts Reviewing AI Bio-Nanobots Data?"

Step 2: Drafting the Newsworthy Event

Teacher: "Let’s write the first sentence. Who remembers what the WHO is going to do next month?" 

Student : .................................

Teacher: "Correct. Let's make it more formal: The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially begun its review of the Bio-Nanobot trial data from Singapore today."

Step 3: Developing Background

Teacher: "Why is this important? What happened to the fifty volunteers in the report?" 

Student : ................................. 

Teacher: "Excellent. Let’s combine that with the info about the Vanguard AI. Anyone want to try?" 

Student : .................................

Teacher (Refining): "Let’s use the Passive Voice to make it sound more like a news report: The procedure, which was guided by the 'Vanguard' AI, successfully cleared arterial blockages in 95 percent of volunteers without invasive surgery."

Step 4: Adding Sources

Teacher: "Don't forget the experts. What were the critics worried about?"

Student : .................................

Teacher: "Let’s write: Despite the success, Dr. Thorne acknowledged the concerns of bioethicists regarding the long-term presence of AI inside the human body."
