TRUST, BUT VERIFY — A FREE AI TEACHING KIT
Nikhil Karkare | Walnut School

Welcome. This kit takes one real chapter and shows you, end to end, how to teach it with free AI tools — and how to check the AI's work before it ever reaches a child. Start here and take it one step at a time.

1. Read Files-and-five-words.pdf first — it explains the five words that make everything else make sense.
2. Follow Free-app-follow-along.pdf with an app open beside you.
3. Open Class 07/Science/Ch11-Light/20-Drafts/worked-example for the plan, images, worksheet, separate key and six classroom slides.
4. Keep your own checked files in 30-Checked, then choose 40-Classroom. The examples still need your teacher check — that part is yours, not the AI's.
5. The workshop deck is "Trust, but Verify": a title cover, 26 numbered slides (01–22 the worked chapter, 23–26 reference and take-home), and a closing challenge slide. Presenter-guide.md has exact 45- and 30-minute routes. Where its notes say "teacher-kit", they mean the worked-example folder above.

A few honest notes so nothing surprises you: the PDF is a companion, not a native PPTX render, so rehearse the Office files on your own device. The account steps are checked against official help, not recorded on every free account. Cowork is paid-only and is not needed here. There is no real pupil data, no internal links, no credentials, no NCERT chapter PDF and no build scripts inside. Every assessment decision is simulated. The context tests read NOT_RUN until you run them yourself. The blog and site are drafts, not published. The plain-English target is a 500–700 Lexile goal, not a measured score.
