Starter prompt
Inventory before reorganizing
Start with the existing lesson or unit folder. Tell ChatGPT which files are authoritative, which are working drafts, and which should never be moved.
Ask for an inventory that groups files by likely purpose and flags duplicates, unclear names, and older versions.
Review the proposed structure
A practical structure might separate:
- source and reference materials
- lesson plans
- presentations
- student handouts
- assessments and answer keys
- accessibility or language versions
- archived drafts
The exact folders should reflect how the teacher or team actually works. Review names and proposed moves before approving any changes.
Verify the result
After organization, confirm that links still work, current files remain easy to find, and nothing was deleted. Ask ChatGPT for a README and a change summary showing renamed, moved, and archived files.
Repeat the inventory when a unit changes substantially so the folder remains usable instead of accumulating another layer of duplicates.
