One PDF, 26 pages including covers: Chapter 2 of the September Intensive booklet in full, on whether a machine can be an artist, and a complete worked essay scaffold on whether your society is prepared for an ageing population. Join the GP mailing list and it downloads straight away.
Chapter 2, AI and creativity: can a machine be an artist, complete from the opener to its references page, exactly as it appears in the September Intensive booklet. Bound into the same file is one full essay scaffold from section two, on whether your society is prepared for an ageing population: the question breakdown, the plan and the model answer, so you can see both halves of how the booklet works.
No payment. No obligation.
The chapter opens on a question rather than a definition: can a machine be an artist, and if its work one day fools us completely, is anything still missing? It then works the argument out in the open, weighing the evidence by its quality and showing you the essay move at the end rather than describing it.
Explain in your own words what generative AI actually does when it creates something.
Tell apart two claims that sound alike: that one AI made work was bad, and that AI made work must always be bad.
Retell the Trace Project case with enough context to use it on either side of an essay.
Weigh evidence by its quality: a direct quotation, a journalist's paraphrase and an online pile on do not carry equal weight.
Open an essay by turning a yes or no question into a sharper one, and carry that sharper question through to your conclusion.
Full colour, printed references, and the same production standard as every ETG General Paper booklet. Click any page to open it at full size.
The essay bound into the PDF is worked the way all eight in the booklet are worked. First the wording is taken apart, word by word, with the assumptions the question is hiding brought out into the open. Then the stand. Then the paragraph plan, each paragraph with the claim it makes and the evidence it rests on. Then the model essay itself, written out in full.
The point is not to hand you an answer to memorise. It is to show you the sequence, so you can run it yourself on a question you have never seen.
You give us an email address, and the PDF downloads straight away, with no login and no payment. You also join the GP mailing list, which is where the GP team sends tips, worked notes and the current affairs most worth carrying into a paper. It goes out when there is something worth sending, rather than to a fixed schedule. Every email carries an unsubscribe link and one click ends it.
Everything in the mesh below is already free on this site with no form at all, so if you would rather not join the list, start there instead.
