The Add Supporting Examples tool in Teach enhances your instructional content by appending relevant, accurate, and age-appropriate examples. These examples help learners connect abstract concepts to real-world contexts—without altering your original paragraph.
Add supporting examples
Follow these steps to add examples to your content:
-
Provide content. Enter or paste the paragraph you want to enhance, or choose a file from your cloud storage. The content field accepts up to 50,000 characters and requires at least 50 characters to generate examples.
-
Choose the number of examples. Select whether you want one, two, or three examples.
-
More examples provide a wider range of illustrations.
-
Fewer examples allow for deeper focus on a single idea.
-
-
Select the type of example. Choose one of the supported example types from the dropdown menu. The tool currently supports Real World, Scientific, and Historical examples. These types guide the AI in generating examples that align with your chosen instructional focus.
-
Set the depth of detail. Choose the level of detail for each example:
-
Light — Simple, one-sentence examples
-
Moderate — 1–2 sentences with brief context
-
Deep — 2–3 sentences with reasoning or impact
-
-
Generate the examples. Select Generate to produce examples based on your content and selections. The tool will append examples beneath your paragraph without modifying the original text.
-
Review and refine. Because these examples are AI-generated, always review them for accuracy, clarity, and age-appropriateness before sharing with learners. You can use the description field to request changes—such as adjusting the complexity, changing the example type, or aligning to class interests.
Note: Well-chosen examples make abstract ideas more concrete and support understanding across new situations.
Tip: Selecting example types that reflect the diverse backgrounds, interests, and lived experiences of your learners can increase engagement and relevance.
Example scenario
An educator is teaching thermal energy transfer and has a paragraph explaining that heat moves from warmer objects to cooler ones. However, the lesson lacks concrete applications. Using Add Supporting Examples, the educator can generate real-world science examples—such as a metal spoon warming in hot soup or an ice cube melting on a warm countertop—to help learners visualize how heat transfer works in everyday situations. These added examples reinforce the original explanation, increase clarity, and make the concept more accessible for secondary learners.
