Claude the Coach

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to practice learning a new skill through clear instruction, hands-on effort, and thoughtful reflection. Students choose a skill they want to learn-such as drawing, writing a poem, or completing a task-then ask Claude to teach it step by step. By recording the instructions, attempting the skill, and requesting feedback, learners build independence, self-monitoring, and an understanding of how AI can support learning without replacing effort.
