Claude assigns evidence roles across four sources, then drafts the pack. You check both stages.

Draft the pack
Check and finish
Use: You
The four authorised sources on causes of flooding, the class size and the learning objective.
Use only authorised sources; each must add necessary evidence. Check your class data policy allows the upload. Check sizes before upload: 500MB per file, 20 files per chat, 1000 PDF pages.
Use: Claude
Paste the sources, class size and objective into one Claude chat. Ask for an expert-role map giving each source complementary evidence.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Draft expert-role map with source IDs, expert questions, contributions and synthesis dependencies. Allocate complementary evidence roles for a jigsaw: for each proposed expert group, name its source ID, the evidence that source uniquely contributes, draft expert questions, and state what the synthesis will need from this group. Flag any source whose evidence is not necessary, and any synthesis need no group covers.
Use: You
Check reading demand is balanced and group sizes work. Correct the role map.
Check every source adds necessary evidence and the synthesis needs every group.
Use: Claude
Paste the corrected map. Ask for expert sheets, regroup instructions and a synthesis prompt.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Draft jigsaw pack with expert sheets, regroup instructions and synthesis prompt, unresolved items retained. Using only this corrected role map, draft each expert sheet (source ID, reading focus, expert questions, the contribution this group must bring), the regroup-to-synthesis instructions, and a synthesis prompt that needs every group's contribution to answer. Keep unresolved items visible.
Use: You
Walk through the transitions and check every group has essential context. Run the final check.
Every item matches the approved sources. Preparation only; do not submit learner work, publish material, alter official grades or make placement decisions automatically. No inline citations back to source passages are confirmed, so the teacher verifies balance and coverage against the sources directly. Role mapping and activity drafting rest on the teacher's gates; no official wording confirms either operation.
Gemini Notebook answers per-source questions with citations. You check them, then it drafts the pack.

Use: You
The four authorised sources on causes of flooding, the class size and the learning objective. Upload the sources to a new notebook.
Check your class data policy allows the upload.
Use: Gemini Notebook
Ask grounded questions on the unique evidence each source can carry for an expert role, with citations.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Cited per-source answers on the unique evidence each source can carry for an expert role. For each source in turn, answer with citations: what evidence does this source uniquely contribute about the causes of flooding, what expert questions would bring it out, and what would a synthesis need from a group built on this source? Note anything a source does not support.
Use: You
Open the cited passages and check reading demand is balanced and group sizes work. Keep checked per-source allocation notes.
Treat the answers as leads until you have opened the cited passages.
Use: Gemini Notebook
Ask for expert sheets, regroup instructions and a synthesis prompt from your checked allocation notes.

Gemini drafts the role allocation, group sizes and wording. You check the map, then the wording line by line.

Use: You
The four authorised sources on causes of flooding, the class size and the learning objective.
Check your class data policy allows the upload.
Use: Gemini
Ask for roles, group sizes and synthesis dependencies from the four sources.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Draft expert-role map with synthesis dependencies, unresolved items retained. From my cleared source material, draft a jigsaw allocation map: map each source's contribution to an expert role, propose workable group sizes for the stated class size and learning objective, and set the synthesis dependencies so the wrap-up needs every group's contribution. Keep unresolved items visible. Do not add content beyond the sources. Preparation only: do not send, publish or change any records. Cleared sources, class size and learning objective: [paste].
Use: You
Check the map against the sources and your real class. Correct it.
Every source adds necessary evidence, the synthesis needs every group, reading demand is balanced and group sizes work.
Use: Gemini
Paste the corrected map. Ask for readable expert-sheet and regroup-instruction wording.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Draft expert-sheet and regroup-instruction wording, unresolved items retained. Turn this corrected allocation map into readable wording: one expert sheet per group (reading focus, expert questions, the contribution this group must bring), regroup-to-synthesis instructions and a synthesis prompt. Keep unresolved items visible. Do not add content beyond the map.
Use: You
Check the wording line by line against the sources. Walk through the transitions and check every group has essential context. Run the final check.
Allocation and instruction drafting are unevidenced; the teacher checks every line against the sources.
Best when: You want both drafts from one pasted set of sources
What it does: Claude drafts both; you check at two stages
Strong at: One chat carries the role map into the pack
Limit: 500MB per file, 20 files per chat, 1000 PDF pages
Free plan: Yes, limited (5-hour and weekly usage caps)
Best when: You want each role traced to a cited source passage
What it does: Sources uploaded once; Gemini Notebook answers and drafts
Strong at: Every role comes with cited evidence
Limit: Retrieval may not draw on every source; open each citation
Free plan: Yes, limited (notebook and source caps)
Best when: You want the AI to draft both map and wording
What it does: Gemini drafts both; you check each stage
Strong at: Readable sheets built on a map you corrected
Limit: You check every line against the sources
Free plan: Yes, limited
Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.
Deciding between Claude and Gemini for this? See the comparison.
Teacher checks balanced reading demand and workable group sizes after the allocation pass.
Teacher walks through transitions and checks all groups have essential context before the pack is final.
Every source must contribute necessary evidence and the synthesis must require combining groups. Preparation only. The named human reviews the result; do not submit learner work, publish material, alter official grades or make placement decisions automatically.
