Your turn to make something. Three ways, and none of them is better than the others. Then you write one line underneath - the credit line. Nobody will check. That is exactly why writing the true one means something.

Write a prompt
No prompt may name a living artist or real person - this is a direct callback to Activity 5, scenario 3.
⚠️ That prompt names a real person. Naming a living artist in a prompt takes the thing that made their work worth copying, without asking them - the platform blocks it for the same reason Activity 5 scenario 3 does.
Optional - anything you want to say about what you made (max 120 characters)
Step 3 - Write your credit line
One line. Not a confession, not a warning label - it just tells the next person what they're looking at. Three examples, so you can see the shape - write your own, don't copy one.
"Made by me."
"Drawn by me, background generated with AI."
"Generated with AI from my prompt."
Step 4 - Add a card to the Class Wonder Map
Anything shared to the map must carry its credit line - it can't be displayed without one.
🖼️ "Made by me."
- another student
🖼️ "Generated with AI from my prompt."
- another student
🖼️ "Drawn by me, background generated with AI."
- another student
In a live class, a teacher approves each card before it appears to classmates - here it is added straight to this session's map so you can see how it works.
Step 5 - Look back at what you wrote at the start
At the very start of the lesson, you were asked whether knowing how a picture was made changes what you think of it. Would you write the same thing now? Edit it, or leave it exactly as it was.
-
"Six more pictures. Same as the beginning. The difference is that now you know where to look."
A 6-minute Phase 5 - Propagation activity. Choose By me, By me with help, or Directed by me - shown with equal visual weight, no default. Create for a few minutes (a soft prompt appears with about 30 seconds left, no visible countdown). Write a free-text credit line - never a dropdown, because composing the sentence is the actual skill. Add a card to the Class Wonder Map. Finish by revisiting your Activity 1 journal sentence, editable.
🎯 Learning objectives
Make something using one of three declared methods. Write a credit line stating what you made and what you didn't. Recognise a credit line is normal practice, not an admission.
🧭 On "Directed by me"
This build simulates generation with a bank of twelve pre-generated images shown with their prompts, rather than a real API call - matching the teacher-mediated, no-student-account approach used across this codebase (see Lesson 2, Activity 4). The prompt field still enforces the "no living artist or real person" rule with a real, working keyword check.
♿ SEN Adaptations
Drawing accepted anywhere in the lesson, including instead of writing a prompt
Voice input on the credit line and the callback field
No visible countdown during creation; extended time from the accessibility profile
Assessment is based on engagement, not volume produced
🖨️ No-Tech Format
Barely needs technology - paper, pencils and a wall work perfectly
Print-pack card 6 is a blank creation panel with a printed credit line underneath, plus twelve pre-generated images with prompts for the "directed" route
Class map becomes sticky notes - photograph it for the record
